Hi Dick
RSS is a great way to read websites
You can user browser based readers or standalone readers or readers that integrate into your email application.
I personally use saucereader after trialling more than 10.
i have written some information that will assist ypour readers to learn
what RSS is (it stands for really simple syndication) and how to choose an RSS Reader.
RSS will cost you bandwith, though generally less than surfing to the page directly, as usually ads and other extraneous content isnt downloaded. The xml file is generally smaller than the html file.
the main benefit is exactly as you pointed out - you dont have to go and check the page manually - the updates can come to you directly and you can read them whenever you want.

Good point Dick.

I was thinking the same thing, but I dont want to get pinged with a bill for the bandwidth. My site costs nothing at the moment.

I'll likely look at blogger or something this weekend, maybe for doing as little as announcing site updates.

re: Batman – nice try, but we all know you’re a superhero

re: link – if you don’t include http, it thinks it’s relative. I fixed it up for you.

Wow, you're putting me in a tight spot now Dick!

I'm no Batman , but as I read this, I feel I'm obliged to keep my target of one new page a week.
Which is a good thing. I guess.

I've already written most of chapter three of my series of articles about: Creating an addin from an Excel macro, so stay tuned, it will be posted soon.
