Tired of checking the ADZPCTKO Web site <http://pct77.org/adz> to see if
that lazy Webmaster has gotten around to entering your registration? Updated
the schedule of events? Acknowledged your donation? Added any new
unpronounceable abbreviations to the PCT lexicon?

We now have an RSS feed, so you can let your RSS reader do the checking for
you. Aim it at http://pct77.org/adz/rss.xml

And if the abbreviation "RSS" makes even less sense to you than "ADZPCTKO,"
you can read about updates at
http://pct77.org/adz/archive/2005_site_updates.htm. Or you can learn about
RSS here: http://rss.softwaregarden.com/aboutrss.html

Four weeks 'til ADZPCTKO...

Can someone help me out with an explanation as to what RSS is and does?
