Sunshine XML Feed

Hey folks, You might have not have noticed the little button right above the links that says XML Sunshine. That's our XML feed.

I don't know if any of you have discovered XML feeds yet, but it's terrific for keeping track of new postings on the blogs! I've been playing around with it today and discovered that I can track everyone's blog here (you didn't know you had a feed, did you?) and be notified within 10 minutes every time somebody posts something new on any of the blogs. It sure saves a lot of browser clicking. The only thing it doesn't track are new comments...darn.

All you need to do is download an RSS/XML reader and install it, then add the URL's for the feeds of the blogs you want to watch. Those abbreviations may sound a bit complex for the HTML impaired among us, but after you've done a couple of times it's a no-brainer.

I'm already tracking the Sunshine blog along with all of mine, Jamie's, Scott's, Jennifer's, Tim's and Zoe's. To find the URL for your blog just go to the Settings control panel and look under Feeds. It's normally the URL for your blog plus a slash and ATOM.XML. Here's a link to a free RSS/XML reader that's simple to install and use: RSS Reader

Thanks for the education, Al. I wish I could download one of those things for my computer here at work. I have 10-15 blogs that I am trying to keep up with.
