Syndicated Data Feeds

webDowling is available as several RSS data feeds. What is an RSS feed you ask? Well... RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, although it is really not so simple. Basically, it is a data format that allows news aggregator software to display elements of a web site without having to actually visit the site yourself.

So why would anyone want to do this? Well... if you read content from several different web sites with any regularity, the ability to "aggregate" this information into a single user interface becomes very attractive. For example, you can download my list of daily sites and read them in your news aggregator without actually having to visit each site individually.

As far as software goes, webDowling recommends FeedDemon for Windows users and NetNewsWire for Mac OSX users. For those of you with a My Yahoo! homepage, or those interested in having one, you can add posts from webDowling directly to your homepage by clicking here.

The following syndicated feeds are available:

• webDowling – main web log
• webDowling: Links – Links web log
• webDowling: Photos – Photos web log
• webDowling: Portfolio – Portfolio web log
• webDowling: Videos – Videos web log
