About Me

My photo
I am one of the most random people you may ever meet. I do my best to enjoy life in general, and I try to be content with what God has blessed me to have in my life. I am a blunt, honest individual that will give you an honest opinion if asked. Relationships are the most important things in my life. I am concerned with only the opinions of close friends, family, and other close relations of people who care about me. Otherwise, I tend to not care what other people think of me. I am not here to please the world. I am on this planet to serve others in hopes that God finds favor with my efforts to do so at the end of my Earthly existence. I am a good-natured person that lives for the moment. Even though not always successful, I try to look at things in a positive light with a productive attitude and world view. I am thankful for each breath that I take because each breath that is taken is a blessing in of itself. Make the most of what you can while you can. You get one chance at this thing called life. So try your best to Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever. If you have any questions about me or my BLOG, don't hesitate to ask, and I will give you a straightforward answer.

RSS in simple English...

People appear to use RSS (Really Simple Syndication) for several reasons for expressing opinions about random topics, whether they relate to everyday atypical life or not. Whatisrss.com informs: “RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter” (par. 2).

Click here to see some of the most popular RSS feeds at CNN (http://www.cnn.com/services/rss/).

The following YouTube video explains that RSS allows people to bring information to them without have to waste time in going out on the web to look for it. RSS is a movement toward users puling information instead of organizations just pushing it on us as consumers to go out there and find it. If you wish to use this method of information gathering through really simple syndication, Google Reader and News Gator are two services among several that will assist you in doing so. You can scroll through all of the information in a single area instead of going to all these sites individually. Many sites offer the chance to subscribe through an RSS feeder so that you can link it to a private reader account.
