Christmas greetings

Well it does to the people who post here... dispassionate and reasoned debate, with a good deal of humour thrown in for good measure.

Thank you for that, Musicus. My new year's resolution: to drop by more often. Now if someone would set up an RSS feed so I can add it into my Google Reader reading list ...

I hope you all enjoy the Christmas season.

Being a bear of very little brain I need an explanation of an RSS feed and a google reading list. Igo all to pieces when I read things like that!
Thanks for the good wishes Musicus, which are reciprocated warmly.
Anyone any bright ideas on what to play at Monday's funeral? [I have split Gwyn's reply off to a new thread - Musicus]

Here goes - I'm rubbish at explaining things so if this isn't clear it's my fault not yours.

Think of an RSS feed as being a sort of "newswire". So, for example, the BBC has an RSS feed, which has a sequence of articles which comes in the order the stories are posted. This feed contains the headline of the article, and a few lines from the story.

If this site had an RSS feed for new articles, it would have the subject and a few lines for each new post.

Google Reader is able to create a consolidated view of all the RSS feeds I subscribe to. So in a single page, I can see articles from (in my case) BBC news, various technology news sites, and other stuff. So if SSG Forum had a RSS feed, I would be able to browse new articles within this single view and then follow interesting articles out into the main site.
