Tony Does It Again: Adding News Stories To Your Blog

I mentioned Tony Hung yesterday as he is guest blogging this week on Darren Rose’s ProBlogger. Today’s post is about “How to Find News For Your Blog” and is a fantastic article about incorporating news into your own blog, especially for all my blogging virgins. I gotta plug Tony’s own blog as well; it’s already my favorite new blog of the year (not that it’s new but just new to me!) Thanks again Tony for helping the new kids on the block.

Too Much RSS Make Eric Go Crazy

Matt over at 37 Signals has written a nice post about “Taming the RSS”. I have mentioned in the past about how too many posts for one blog can be a huge turn off for readers, especially those who read 100 + blogs a day like myself. It will be interesting to see how RSS management products will continue to grow as the technology becomes more popular. Any suggestions as to make RSS feeds more manageable?

However, I also use Bloglines as a browser-based feed reader to keep tabs on blogs in case I’m away from my computer for an extended period of time. Which is painfully never.

Introduction to RSS (Real-Simple-Sydnication)

 RSS, short for “Real Simple Syndication”, is a technology that is actually been around for a little while, but has until recently hid from the mainstream. RSS is an XML-scripted programming language that “feeds” a webpage into a RSS reader, which is a desktop software program very similar to Microsoft Outlook or other email programs. The technology works very similar to the way email works, but with less fuss for both the reader and more importantly the writer.
