RSS- Really Simple Syndication

by Ron Thomas,

This article is directed to the seniors at Longview Hills.

We all came here from somewhere else ... In our case we lived in our last home in Yucaipa, CA. where we stayed for 28 years. Before that it was Ontario, CA. for 8 years. and before that, Yakota Air Base, Japan for 4 years.

You just don't pick up from living so long in such places and forget what was going on, your friends, acquaintances and the news of each place... You are connected. But news from those places is scarce and mostly comes from phone conversations... over time you lose track of what is happening back there. It doesn't have to be....

Each home town newspaper and organization that you may have belonged to... many of your former employers..blogs that people write on... such as this one.. all the associations and even some of your friends and relatives... have a feature called RSS.

Really Simple Syndication.

Trouble is it isn't really simple for a lot of us who view computers as some kind of gadget designed to frustrate us. I can help set your computer up for your own personal RSS feeds if you are dismayed about learning how... I can teach you how individually.. Or I can give a group class on it... Maybe, a step by step on line tutorial where you teach yourself...All this is possible.

Trouble is... time. After awhile such projects become a burden to me.. and I start longing to move on.... But get stuck in a forever binding loop.. If I were to do this for you... is there any reason why you could not show a neighbor how to do it?
