Video: Easy RSS Updates Simplified

Posted on

The video only takes 3 minutes to watch in entirety. It was created by CommonCraft. You can view the original on the CommonCraft site or read a transcript of the video.


This is the BEST NON-TECHNICAL EXPLANATION of how to stay updated on your favorite web sites. If you have ever wished, “Boy, I wish there were a simple way that my favorite web site would notify me whenever they post new stuff,” then this video is for you!


It explains how to use RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to stay updated. Almost all new web sites are offering free RSS Feeds (or syndications).

RSS Subscription Feed for HandsHeadlines.com is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/HandsHeadlines


Why not use what you learn in the video above to stay updated on HandsHeadlines.com? It’s one of your favorite sites, I’m sure! 🙂


Again, the video is super simple. It’s called “RSS in Plain English.” This is not for geeks. Normal people will like it.


If you are thinking, “I just want to stay updated by email, that’s all.” Then there is a different free service you may want to check out offered by a web site called FeedBlitz.com See our post about it here.

Texas = Big

Day #4 on the road to Colorado:

WELCOME TO TEXAS! There’s not a font large enough to capture the spirit of the signage you see entering the Lone Star State. “Don’t Mess with Texas” is one visible tag line you see quite a bit.

Everything in Texas is big. And Texas itself is big. Real big. Even the pancakes we had for breakfast we about big enough to sink a battleship. (See below) Oh yeah, and just so ya know: the flapjacks pictured below were ordered off of the kids menu!! After 90 minutes, we collectively were able to finish about two of them!


We had a great time visiting with some long-time friends in Denton: Ross and Christy Bryant and daughters Rebekah (not pictured) and Reece. Shannon met Christy when they were both students on a Campus Crusade summer project.

Day #3 on the road to Colorado:

After our grinnin’ visit with good ol’ Mark McKinnon in Alabama, we kept on truckin’ west through Mississippi and Louisiana. We don’t have much to report from our drive through those states, but I’d like to dedicate the photo below to my good friend Danny. This one’s on us, Danny!

The kids are doing pretty well, all things considered. We’ve passed the time in the van well and have really gotten into this card game called Mystery. It’s great for adults and kids.

Grinnin’ with McKinnon

Posted on

Day #2 on the road to Colorado:

No trip through Alabama would be complete without a stop in CLANTON, ALABAMA. It’s located right on I-65, in between Montgomery and Birmingham.

So, who’s McKinnon and why are we grinnin? Mark McKinnon – best man in our wedding and definitely a great friend. We served together overseas for a year in Slovakia. Mark is one of the funniest men alive. You can’t be around him more than a couple of minutes without a big smile.

Every once in a while you can see Mark in television commercial for his car/truck dealership in Clanton. No joking – if you want a serious good deal, check out McKinnon Toyota. You’ll be grinnin’ when you buy McKinnon!
