RSS and XML

News Anyone?

So I have been extremely busy with classes, articles, and tests. I have finished my last true presentation and finals week is coming upon me. So of course procrastination has set in. With all my might, I am trying to put off a journal review of achille's tendinopathies. I am trying to update this site as frequently as possible, but just not getting to it as often as I would like. I have updated the site to include rss and atom feeds for the site as well as the flickr site. (those are the xml icons). It makes creating content and adjusting it really easy, in fact the weather information on the bottom of this page is created using rss content. I just recently started using and RSS reader for news and the like to pretty much cut down on the ads and garbage. I try to read at least a couple newspapersnews sites a day and this just puts everything you need on one page. It seems pretty trivial but its so much easier to use rss for looking at new/updated content and searching through websites than it is to go there and search through the ads. It's pretty difficult to explain so here are some great references which explain it. (A, B, C.) I've used sage for firefox (the browser) as an extension but it seemed pretty slow. So now I use bloglines at school and sharpreader at home. I also added some a flickr sidebar to the page.
