Simplifying RSS for non-geeks

I recently mentioned, as an aside, that RSS might be more of a geek thing. It seems most people, especially the everyday internet user, visit web versions of sites rather than read RSS feeds. Indeed, almost every non-blog website (including most of mine) don’t have an RSS feed.

One part of the problem is that the entire concept (including its acronymic name) is pretty geek-centric. Another issue is that it’s not simple enough to subscribe. Mike’s solution is an intermediate description page. It gives an introduction to RSS, as well as instructions for how–and where–to subscribe.
