What is RSS Feed and how does it work?

This is a post that has been around for a little bit but I think it is still very valuable.  Let me know what you think?

What is RSS Feed and how does it work?  That is a good question.  Many people have a basic understanding of what it is, however, they don’t know the best way to use it.

Who uses feeds like this?  USA Today, BBC News, ABC New and on and on… so why not You.  This is a great way to ensure that people who are interested in you, stay interested in you.  You want to give them ample opportunities to subscribe so that you can be there for them when they are looking for some information or advice.

Like wise, you want to subscribe to sources of information that keeps you informed without taking you hours to search and find it.

.
The reason that you want people to follow your personal or business blog RSS is you want people to know who you are.  People join people that they know, like and trust.  What better way for them to get to that point than to be reading your blog.

Happy Trails…..

You Inc Star Video Challege Intro

I always loved a challenge, so when my business partner Dotti Berry told me about this what could I say? 

So, here we go we are blazing a new trail, one video at a time.  The challenge is to produce a video everyday for 7 weeks.  This is not for the faint of heart, you have to be like the people in the movie Brave Heart!!  This will give you Freedom from your excuses, your reasons for not getting things done.  The road to hell is paved with good intentions, that will not work.

One way to stick to this is to understand that it is not about trying … that word needs to be taken out of your vocabulary.  You are either going to do it or you are not.  If you are seated in a chair, have you ever tried to get up?  Well, that’s right you either get up or you stay seated.  Trying doesn’t do you any good!  I know that we have been told over and over in our lives that we just need to keep trying.  That seems so useless now.  If you think about in light of that, if you just keep trying to do something and nothing changes that is the definition of insanity.

WordPress Blogs Being Hacked

Don’t you think it is quite amazing the feeling of total “freak out” that a person feels when they realize that they have lost their phone?  Well, that is nothing compared to the freak out that I felt when I thought that I had lost everything on my blog last week!
