This is great, I’m going to add this to my RSS primer info at http://www.goucher.edu/rss. Thanks, Bob
Hi Andrew. Thank you so much for the nice comment on my blog and this great post. Apparently, I have hit an avalanche. I’m happy my Oprah definition is helping lots of people understand RSS.
I’m not sure how fond I am of the “RSS logo = ? = magical intermediary” part of the graphic, but that’s just me over-analyzing it. It’s cute. I will have to do the “parent test” where I link it to my mom or someone like that, someone not too techno-savvy… then I’ll do my 13 year old test, with my sister’s help.
