Chapter 5. Blogging with RSS

This chapter is all about working with RSS and Web logs, or blogs. Blogs are Web logs of news items that are read by interested people, and RSS feeds are streams of news items that are read by interested people. Together, they’re a natural combination. Blogs are maintained by server-side software, and that software can be adapted to automatically create a new RSS feed every time you post to a blog.

Here’s how it works. You come up with a great new thought and log on to your blogging site. You create your new blog entry and post it, using the site’s blogging software. The new blog entry appears as it should, and you’re satisfied.
