New RSS feature for blogs

I'm happy to announce that we've just implemented a new RSS feature for user blogs.  For those of you not familiar with RSS, its short for "Really Simple Syndication" and is also known as a "feed" or "web feed".  It basically provides a summary a user's blog posts, which you can then subscribe to and be updated in the your "feed reader".  This has been a much-requested feature in the forums to enable community members to stay up-to-date on other members' blogs.

There are many free feed readers available, including many email clients which are now coming with them built in (Mac Mail, Thunderbird, to name a couple).  Firefox also comes with its own reader, which it calls "Live Bookmarks".  Google and Yahoo both also offer popular online readers.

In every user's blog, you will now see a link that says "Subscribe to Blog RSS Feed".  Just click on that and you're off!

I am interested in this RSS feed, but not that great on computers. Can you explain this a bit more or where can I go to learn more? It sounds like something I would really like to use. Thanks so much!! =)=)
