TECHsplanation: RSS in Plain English

By: Johnny Coggin

You may have noticed that on the right column of this Blog page, there are 2 options for "subscribing" to the Blog:
  1. Subscribe to receive Email updates (simply type in your email address to begin subscription)
  2. Subscribe in a Reader

If you're online and reading the church blog, I'm guessing you have email, and understand that concept. But you may not be familiar with the "Reader" option.

So here's a brief (and entertaining) video explanation of how RSS works (that's "Really Simple Syndication"), why it's a convenient time-saver (if you read blogs or news online), and how you can get started using a Reader.
