Shameless website promotion/RSS

Time is rapidly nearing for my annual burst of additions to my website

here are three RSS Feeds for the site, the top one for my fishing logs, the
next for pages on the patterns I use on the waters I fish ... mainly spring
creeks and some tailwaters I'd guess that I'll add 100 to 150 pages
between now and November .... maybe one or two pages will interest one or
two of you
:-)

and

http://www.kimshew.com/flyfish/patternrss.xml



this next one will point to 'some' fly fishing content ... the header in a
RSS Reader should make it easy to tell FF content from the rest of the
curmudgeon gibberish

Sorry, if this seems spamy ... the site makes no effort to produce income
and exists only to entertain me and, maybe, sometimes, a few others

Well, I'm embarrassed (if only mildly) to say that I have no idea what
to do with those. Don't know if I even have an "RSS reader" (I use
Firefox), and if I do, what I'd do with it.

Still, looking at your site, I see that it has come along quite nicely.
I like the fly boxes section.

You probably see little "rss" or "xml" logos all over, especially news sites
and blogs. It's a way for you to see what's new without going to the site
and looking around.

It can save a lot of surfing time, once you get the hang of it.

in Firefox, click on Tools, then Extensions, then get more extensions

on the Mozilla site search for Sage by name and install it

you now have a nifty RSS reader

ALT-S will open it in a sidebar

go to my site on the page with the RSS links
http://www.kimshew.com/rss.php


click the little magnifying glass on SAGE and it will find all RSS feeds and
list them
add them ( you can add folders and organize these links just like other
bookmarks ... they are in the 'Live Bookmarks' folder of your bookmarks )

Go to the NYT and Washington Post and NPR etc ( pick sites that interest
you, of course ) and search for their RSS feeds ..add them and organize them

now the really cool thing .... click on the line in Sage that says "Larry's
Fly Patterns" and see what happens G .... it is automatically updated ...
only the 15 most recent show and if I add a new page you will know it
without a visit to my site, if it interests one click and you are on the
correct page of the site !!!

same for all your news feeds ... see only the headline and a line or two of
text, without going to the site ... and it's automatically updated whenever
that site is updated !!! the little YinYangy symbol in Sage updates all
your feeds at once or you can update single ones like my patterns above.
Nifty stuff

btw ... RSS = Really Simple Syndication

in Sage I suggest you click options and select

Show feel item list

and show feed list toolbar

the search box doesn't seem too helpful ... to me ... it runs a search at
http://www.feedster.com/

and shows the resulting headlines ...

Yeah, I do (NYT, etc.) but I generally just ignore them. I looked for a
little RSS button on your site, and didn't see one..... thus the cry for
help. g
