RSS means” Really Simple Syndication”. In simple terms RSS is the idea of presenting the ever changing website content and making it available to anyone who wants to read it as a RSS feed through RSS readers.

The following video explains RSS very well:

• Blogger

• Wordpress

• TypePad

• Movable type

Blogger.com is under Google and you don’t have to buy a domain name separately because your blog is hosted free by the Blogger.com. Similary TypePad is also hosted for you but at a small monthly fee.

Wordpress has two services. You can have a free blog powered by Wordpress.com or you can host your blog on a server of your choice.
In the self hosted wordpress blog you need a domain name and a server to host your blog.This self hosted wordpress blog has many options and plugins which make the blogs versatile and more search engine friendly.
Movable Type is also self installed with similar options like Wordpress.

I have been using Bloggers.com for my blogs but have discovered Wordpress and right now I am trying to learn how to install and optimize a Wordpress blog.

If you are also new at how to use Wordpress check out the easy web tutorials website especially their Free Blogging Video Tutorials which was easy to follow and very helpful.

Another useful blog was Caroline Middlebrook’s with her free download of “Build Niche Sites with WordPress”.

For a technically challenged individuals like myself, Wordpress installation can be frustrating but with the step by step tutorials I was able to finally complete the blog and reap the benefits of a much superior and search engine friendly blog.

If you were one of the participants tonight, I’d love for you to put your comments below and let others know what you thought. I know I told you not to divulge the content, but you can still tell whether you learned anything, whether it was worth the time and whether it was FUN.

This post is by Aaron Abber. Aaron is the owner of http://www.FullTiltBlogging.com where he teaches bloggers just like you how to make money blogging. Go there now to pick up his latest book “How to Retire on 200 Blog Visitors a Day” free.

Last night I sat through one hour of quite some interesting training with Aaron Abber of Full Tilt Blogging.com.

Aaron’s blog is on how to make money blogging. He gives exact instructions on making blogs more search engine friendly, monetizing blogs, getting more traffic to the site and much more.

Though I was late for the meeting, I’ve been going through the tasks and I must say he has a different way of approaching the whole idea of internet marketing.

For the next ten weeks we’ll be having two hours training through a webinar every Monday at 8.00 pm ET.

You can get signed up here for free for his mentoring program.

The language within the Internet is changing so fast that most people can’t just keep up with it. Many of us don’t know what a blog is or for that matter a Lens.

What does the word blog stand for? Blog is one of those new words which have grown from the use of the world wide web or the Internet.

There isn’t any one definition for it and neither is it an acronym for some long words.

Many have given it these meanings as quoted in the www.abbreviations.com, the Web Log, Better Listings On Google and even funny definition like Boring Lump Of Garbage.

But a Blog is just a collection of thoughts, ideas, and information.

Some view it as an online journal or diary, while others use it as a platform to air or exchange their views with others. It can be a showcase to sell your products or a source of excellent information on many topics.

In other words a blog can be anything you want it to be. It is very versatile in that you can post on it daily, weekly or monthly.

That said I want to talk about this blog of mine and what it stands for. The News About Blogging is my online journal on interesting aspects of my personal experiences as a blogger, from my life to my hobby as an Internet marketer. I want to share these personal insights with you, so feel free to respond to the posts with your comments or questions.
