Meryl Evans points to Brainstorms & Raves, a weblog produced by Shirley Kaiser since December of 2000. Shirley’s list of resources about RSS is fantastic.

It took me a while to understand anything at all about RSS when I began a weblog. I was still struggling to understand anchor tags at the time. Once I understood the purpose of the feature and the benefits of using a news aggregator, RSS’s importance was clear.

Then came the switch to Movable Type from Radio that cost me my news aggregator. I tried to use Amphetadesk, but got poor performance and didn’t like the change.

Now I’m looking at the new breed of aggregators and will be making a choice by the end of the week.
