RSS is an easy way to keep up with updates from your favorite sites. Some of you may use the old way, aka bookmarks. The problem with using bookmarks is 
that you have to physically visit each site in order to check for updates which in turn can mean missing out on sites that update frequently, losing track with too many bookmarks, or seeing the same information on sites that update less often.
I won’t go in to too much detail about RSS but it’s basically a subscription. You know how you subscribe to your favorite magazines right? Well this is the same thing. When the site updates, you’ll see it in your RSS Reader or via email, depending on which method you choose.
Since there are several topics being covered here at A Cowboy’s Wife, you can easily miss an update if not subscribed. Posting is not scheduled here so there could be 3-8 updates a week.
GETTING UPDATES USING EMAIL (preferred!)
MYou can get updates delivered straight to your Inbox! This is the preferred way because I often do giveaways for JUST email subscribers.

I actually make sure that I have a huge RSS feed like that so that people will know where to subscribe and stuff. The more subscribers you have the better, of course. Before I wasn’t even sure how it works.
I use Mozilla as a browser and Outlook 2007 for email. When I subscribe to RSS feeds, they show up in folders in Outlook. It is nice to have them in one place.
I wrote a post similar to this a few months ago and my readers really liked it! :)
This is a great tip to share with other bloggers!
