John, these are absolutely awesome widgets.

Can't wait to put them up on my relaunched blog on Mar. 15th.

Thanks!

Fern,

Anybody who reads Fuel should be able to read RSS feeds!

There are many ways to do this, but I'm going to give you one.

Go to www.bloglines.com and set-up a free account.

Then go to my blog and hit that subscribe button up there in the top right. It will take you to a page where you can choose how to subscribe.

You, of course, will choose Bloglines. It will zap you back to your bloglines account and then you will automatically get my new stuff delivered to your bloglines subscriptions.

After that you can visit other blogs and do the same or just go back to bloglines and enter the URL of the blog and let it do the rest. Then all the new content from all the blogs you subscribe to will show up there in your bloglines reading box.

You can also search on bloglines for blogs by name or category and subscribe right there at bloglines.

Now, since you will reading all your blogs from one place, you still better come back here and check in at Duct Tape Marketing!

I read in Fuel magazine just a few months ago that only 2% of the workforce knows how to sign up for blogs. So while I admit that I'm not that technically inclined, it really is hard to figure out! Can you recommend a good tutorial for people who don't have IE7 that I can pass along?

Great resource John. Nothing is more distracting than a banner farm of chicklets...

and yet, you still have chicklet clutter on the site.

Yes Fern, and your head would explode if you ever decided to switch to Firefox browser and see all the things you can with it.

RSS as a concept will fade away I suspect as it is simply built into the tools we use.

All I can say is that I'm so glad IE7 has the RSS button. Just click and you're done. Before that, I was stumped...

I'm asking the same question myself. I tend to lean toward not having so much clutter on my blog. Yet, I also want to use my blog to open the blogosphere to newbies. That means making some concessions so that they can understand how to use a feed, for instance.
