Comments on: From Milwaukee-ID10T – Memo to Big Gov’t Politicians http://norunnyeggs.com/2006/02/from-milwaukee-id10t-memo-to-big-govt-politicians/ The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

XML allows, among other things, news aggregators and readers such as <a href="http://www.sharpreader.net" rel="nofollow">SharpReader</a> (what I use) to regularily update a series of subscriptions to a bunch of sites without having to go to each site separately in a browser and waste a heap of bandwidth on both ends. To activate the Atom feed (Blogger/BlogSpot calls it "syndication") on a BlogSpot blog: - Go to your Blogger.com Dashboard (it'll come up if you go to <a href="http://www.blogger.com" rel="nofollow">blogger.com</a> and log in). - Select "Change Settings" for your blog. - Under the "Settings" tab, select "Site Feed". - In the "Publish Site Feed" dialog box, select "Yes". - The "Descriptions" tab lets you control whether to send the entire contents of the posts or just the first paragraph/255 characters. - Select "Save Settings", then "Republish Index" (that faster "republish" option republishes your index and your Atom feed pages). Hope this helps. Atom is one of the two major XML formats (RSS, the dominant one despite Blogger/BlogSpot’s non-support for it, is the other).

I consider myself a tech geek, but I am obviously lacking in the Web geek stuff. What is an Atom feed? I consider myself a tech geek, but I am obviously lacking in the Web geek stuff.
