I’ve done a bit of work on the site that I wanted to highlight. On the right sidebar are two sections with podcast and blog subscription buttons. Without getting too much into RSS, I just wanted to point out that these buttons will allow you to subscribe to this blog and my podcast using free software. The “subscription” is also free so there is no reason not to check it out.

So now the geeky background that might be useful at your next cocktail party, gallery opening or wine tasting. RSS is short for, “Really Simple Syndication.” What RSS feeds allow is for content producers like myself to make it easy for you to read or listen to what I post here.

If you want to read all my blog posts (which include all my podcasts) just use a feed reader such as Bloglines or Google Reader. If you just want my podcasts, use the iTunes, Odeo, Podcast Ready or mobilize buttons. All these services and software are free and work on both Mac’s and Windows PC’s. The best part is the software keeps up with the posts and/or podcasts for you and they are just ready for you when you want to read or listen to them.

For those who want an even easier way to read Winecast, I also offer email subscription via FeedBlitz and on your mobile phone via plusmo. There is also the old school RSS icon for advanced users.

Whatever method you choose will ensure you can read or listen to my efforts whenever you want for free without ever having to visit this site.
