I have been updating the RSS feed templates in the site's weblogs over the last day or so, so that all of you people that like to use aggregators to syndicate favorite sites will now find both RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0 feeds (currently, this page, Delphinium, and Obsidian Requiem are updated). If you don't know anything about RSS, then you should check it out … it really makes it easy to see when your favorite sites are updated.

An Aggregator is sort of like an Alligator, except it catches website updates (rather than fish, snakes, alarm clocks, or pirate hands) in its jaws.

Mozilla Firefox users, try out Sage (unless you use Mozilla Thunderbird, which has RSS support built right in).

Users of Mozilla, the best bet is to wait for NewsMonster to get fixed (the 1.2.2 version breaks Mozilla)

Until then (or for users of other browsers), I recommend FeedReader

Then you will need to give your aggregator some Feed URLs, which often have little orange icons saying “RSS” or “XML”, like the ones in the bottom right corner of this page.

If you use Sage (or other Aggregator that supports automatic discovery) then the program actually can find Feeds on pages that you visit without much effort (in Sage, you press a button while looking at this site, and it tells you that there are two feeds found, and you can choose which you want to subscribe to).
