Thanks for posting that Phil. The explanation was very simple and well illustrated. I've been preaching the advantages of RSS feeds for years and it's nice to see even people who were dead set against them before are now using them. It's another way of spreading the caving word on the World Wide Web.

The Cavechat RSS feed icon is at the bottom of every page. If you subscribe, you'll get the latest posts. :cavechat:

The new OnlineCaves.com caving site takes full advantage of RSS feeds in two ways: About 90% of the information on the site is from RSS feeds and EVERY section of the site is an RSS feed itself -- so if you just want to see the latest photos or blogs, you can subscribe to the blogs or photos RSS feed and get them that way, without ever going to the site.

Cave on.

Last night I downloaded Google Reader and set up CaveChat as an RSS Feed. I love it!!!

Thanks for the great information.
