RSS, Feedburner and My Yahoo!

I'd heard about RSS for a while now, and figured it was finally time to investigate a bit further. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a way to "announce" recent updates to your site (or blog) in a standardized, machine-readable way (XML). The blogging service that I use, http://www.blogger.com generates a competing format called Atom. Fortunately, Feedburner does an "enhancement" of that to enable both Atom and RSS (plus adding hit counting and some other interesting features). My Yahoo! lets you add RSS feeds by merely clicking on this link:
http://add.my.yahoo.com/rss?url=feeds.feedburner.com/DigitalVIsionFellow-SteveKetchpel

Voila! I'm now a module in your My Yahoo! page. I was impressed with how easy the whole process was. I'll have to see if some of my favorite bloggers also publish their feeds...
