Calendar Girl Blog: Get My Feed
This is me talking about something I know nothing about. I'm counting on you to understand.
I toiled long and hard into the night, trying to figure out how to put a Feed on my three blogs. I believe I was successful. But I don't really know for sure because I'm not completely clear about what one does with a Feed when one has one. Except point that out to everyone. Which I'm doing. Atom Feed .
I do have a sense why Feeds are a convenience for a blog reader. Beyond that, my understanding is blurry. Foggy. Dense. Thick like jam.
Still, I marvel that I, the technical scaredy cat that I am, would even attempt to muck about in my template, all alone, November raging out my window. And yet I did.
Courage I have.
Speaking of window, which I have spoken of, given it's newness, I must tell you that two men are standing outside said office window right now, screwing.
Screws that is. With background music playing out of an 80's blaster. Madonna I think. I notice that both fellows break into a kind of song and dance in between attaching strapping to the outside of my house.
It's snowing. Oh, and my window is on the second floor, facing the street. They have scaffolding, ladders, and other manly lumbering stuff strewn about.
Brave, skilled men. Making my house a much finer place to live.
Calendar Girl just spoke with the lads. They wondered if I could hear the music. "And much more", I confirmed. "Okay, fine", they sheepishly replied.
They know I'm writing about them.

Actually, I've been subscribed to your feed for quite some time now, you really didn't need to do anything.
The feed basically means that I don't have to visit each and every webpage (blog/news site/etc.) that I'm interested in. I get to see all the stories show up one nice list.
Great work BTW!

How kind of you to point this out to me in such a respectful way Dan. Thank you.
And I do believe my Feed ignorance beautifully illustrates my level of computer savey.
Calendar Girl is not pretending to be thick. She even wishes her brain operated differently at times. However, that failing, she is clearly open to the kindness of her readers.

These feeds are the most convenient thing in the world. I have been using them for about a week now. Google now has a web-based reader for them if you prefer web-based readers. It's in beta, but it's been pretty good to me.

Sorry for the advertising/spam if you find it unacceptable. Just figured while the subject was up people might like to know. A friend of mine has a brother working at Google, and she told me about it. It's a fairly non-technical way of getting to use such feeds.
