Why Would I Want to Subscribe

RSS is a way for you to get a quick list of the newest content from all your favorite websites and blogs all in one place.

The reader checks the sites you subscribe to, usually every hour, and it collects all the new content, that is just waiting for you to come and read it.

No clogging up your email inbox, no viruses, no spam. Just what you want for you to read when you want.
