What is RSS ?

I must admit that until I created this page I myself knew very little about RSS. Though I used to see these orange and buttons scattered all over the net but I had no clue what they were. But now I say:

Wow! ... (that's because I know it now!!)

It's "the next big thing" -- you can use it to get news feeds from CNN or BBC, as well as just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, your favorite band's tour updates, etc.

Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time.

No more bookmarks for me!

means "Really Simple Syndication." But that is just a fancy way of saying that you can keep up with all the updates to Gifting Emotions without having to check the site every week to see "what's new." Whenever I put up a new page or update an old one, I release it through RSS. And...

I also include my favorite gifts and make other special posts from time to time. It's kind of a small blog about Gifting Emotions.

There are so many terrific things we've done here. People love "stumbling" upon those pages. They later write to tell me that they "did it, too!" Now, no need to "stumble" upon them...

I can share them with you from time to time through RSS. This gives you the best of the info to touch the lives of the people who really matter to you and it's all without you having to spend hours on the site!

Yes, is amazing. If you can't tell, I'm completely addicted to it. No e-mail. No spam. It's so easy to subscribe and unsubscribe. If you get tired of me <SOB>, you just have to delete the feed. It's awesome!

And once you start, you'll soon be tracking all your other favorite interests and news in the world.

How do you get started?

Easy (now that I know, that is! ha! ha!).
