RSS
So a while back I got the rss stuff sorted out on the site. I never really dug into it to see what rss and site feeds are all about, I just knew it worked. While having a conversation with Andrew the other night about site feeds, I decided I should look around and figure out what all the buzz was about. I did a google search and came across a site that recommended NetNewsWire. NetNewsWire (NNW) is a program similar to your email. You just install the program, click on any rss link and you now get updated every time one of your sites updates. Its amazing. I have no idea why I slept on this for so long. If this is everyday stuff for some of you, sorry, but I think there are enough people out there that haven’t got into this, that should definitely take full advantage of site feeds. I am so addicted now. It’s been a great way for me to keep up with current events. I seem to have no problem checking all the design and clothing sites, but I slacked on the news. Now I have CNN news briefs on my computer all day, so I can pretend to make a week attempt at keeping up. You can keep up on podcasts as well. NNW is pretty incredible and extremely in-depth. I have only touched the surface. I definitely recommend everyone to get on this. You can check out their site NetNewsWire. You can also use firefox/motzilla or safari.
So there is a BMX tie-in to all this. Jason Morris from rainydayproject.com has compiled a rss resource page for BMX. Right now he has gathered up all the BMX sites that currently have site feeds and is working on a tutorial on feeds in firefox/safari . Definitely check this out and since Jason is going to be constantly updating this site with new BMX related feeds you might as well subscribe to his feed.
Here is the site - BMXRSS

Dude don’t promote Software Piracy, Brett the developer is an awesome guy and I for one don’t want to see his hard work get pissed away.
On a good note, good to see you rocking a Mac! Tryout NewsFire too, it rocks!
Yah, your definitely right on the pirating.
Big Mac supporter.

Thanks man!
you can also try bloglines which is the same kind of thing, but is a website not an application. if you use firefox then there’s a good extension called sage.
tutorials are up
