Blogs

'Blog' is short for web log. A blog is similar to a journal and is published on a website. Blogs often cover a particular subject, for example local news or personal experiences (like a diary).

Blog postings are displayed with the blogger's latest posting first (at the top).

Blogs can also allow other people to add their comments to a particular posting. See Wikipedia's blog article for more information

RSS feedRSS Feeds

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a simple way for you to keep up to date with new content on the web without having to visit numerous web sites. For example, you could see all the content you are interested in from a single place (your browser, RSS feed-readers etc..)
