RSS Feed

When I initially posted the RSS Feed for this blog, I had no idea that Blogger made one available. RSS was new to me... hey, what do I know anyway, right?

Over this last weekend, I added an RSS Feed to the Terry Brooks website news page, as well as updated the one here on this blog. You will have to rejoin the feed to have my updates sent to whatever RSS reader you use.

In short, do it. I will be updating my blog a lot more now. If 10% of it is interesting, I'll be doing okay!

The Terry Brooks one reads fine although it doesn't mention the Gypsy Morph Tour or the June Ask Terry (latest two posts) at the moment. Other than that, it's lookin good!

Coord: Now, why would that be? Any ideas? I noticed yesterday that the RSS Reader I have on Suvudu wasn't picking up the new additions to Terry's News page. Blogger runs both. Any ideas why it wouldn't work?

Agh, I'd help if I could but I really know next to nothing about how RSS feeds work, particularly in relation to how they're automatically updated on a place like Blogger. I just know where to go to check for your own personal errors and I like to use them. Sorry!
