Blake's Blog Delivered
I ordered a couple of pizzas over the recent weekend. Pizza delivery is one of the coolest things. You're at home, feeling too lazy to cook and too lazy to go out, so you call for pizza. Thirty minutes later, you have piping hot delicious pizza in your home and you don't even have to put on your shoes to get it.
There's a similar concept for blogs. You know when you've read a blog that you like and you want to remember to come back? You could bookmark the site, but then you'll get it mixed up with all your other random bookmarks and forget about it. You could use a social bookmarking site, but it might get lost amongst all your other links. If only there was some way to get the stories delivered to your door when they're ready so you don't have to keep thinking about it. Well, that is RSS.
I just published an overview of RSS if you don't know anything about it. I've also updated my links in the right-hand column of the main page to make it easier to subscribe. And if that's not enough, you can use these to subscribe right now:

Great concept for explaining it! I've heard RSS described once as a butler bringing you what you've ordered, but I think this is a better explanation! Well done.
