What is RSS?
We could go into technical terms here, but there's enough of that all over the web (Wikipedia, Google's Feedburner). Instead, let me offer my none-tech version.

So I like to direct that type of information to my separate RSS mailbox.If you're still not sure what the hell I'm talking about, here's my favorite explanation:
