So here is why it is a good jumping off point: Thi This book is an excellent jumping-off point for those of us who read blogs but have been told we need to produce one for our organizations This is valuable because I can go see what subject matter they are covering, what kind of language they are using and so forth. Learning how RSS works, even if I, myself, never need to code it, is also valuable.

Feb 03, Courtney rated it liked it Shelves: This is a practical guide to using blogs and RSS. For blogging, he reviews several of the better known blogs and bloggers, and he goes into detail describing how to create a blog using Blogger. For RSS, he provides some history of the format and its development, and he describes how to create a feed.

He also lists some good feeds. The dilemma of writing about technology is that it changes so quickly that by the time the book hits the shelf it's outdated. While this book is three years old, it manages to still be relevant.
