The R to the S to the S

I love linking things; like metal hoops to make a chain, arms to make a line and words to make a sentence. But when it comes technology, linking is a whole new prospect. I have often wondered how some people receive breaking news faster than me. How could this be when my doctor has told me i have 20/20 vision, and i have such nimble, fast clicking fingers. And then i was told just this morning. RSS, Rich Site Summary, Really Simple Syndication has become a must have internet application

 RSS, The subtle but imposing orange symbol that contains a small white dot in the bottom left being overpowered by two striking curved lines similar to a quarter of a face (one eye, quarter head and quarter hair). RSS is a family of Web Feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. In other words, RSS gives you updates via a feed from a particular website.

 For me, this may just become an essential tool for my future browsing experience. Just don't tell teamtalk.com that i'm cheating on them.

So you like linking things but there are no links in this post, or most of the others here... I think you can write really well - but you need to write a bit more (and link a bit more).

Try to approach this blog as a record of the module and as a potential personal showcase. Think about things you could put in the sidebar that will help link what you do to the wider net.

Watch out for pasting copy in from Word - it can mess up the formatting in posts...
