Excellent overview and how-to on RSS

RSS is interesting on a number of levels. As a consumer of information, RSS lets you get massive amounts of information in a convenient manner, allowing you to quickly hone in on what you want to read. As a distributor of information (i.e., a blogger or website owner), RSS lets you distribute information easily which may increase readership of your efforts. But what do you really have to know about RSS as a consumer or distributor of information? Well, depending on your level of curiousity, it may be a lot or a little. And to your rescue comes Steven Holzner. Holzner has written a ton - the back cover says 95 - of books of technical subjects. I've read many of them and haven't found a bad one yet. This is no exception. Holzner covers just about every aspect of RSS, from defining and explaining what it is to RSS readers to creating feeds manually. It's really quite thorough and Holzner has a gift for making technology understandable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an introductory to medium grounding in RSS. Jerry
