OK, I think I'll be hanging in this forum for a while! 
Thank you Rose for making a place for those just joining the blogging community!
My goal for today is to figure out the whole, "feed" thing... I'm not sure what this is. I see some blogs with the RSS feed button, and lots of discussion about it but I'm still unclear.
Thanks for your help!
Jennifer

Hi Rose...
Thank you as always for your help on this.
So... I have ATOM but do I need something else? Is this one feed good enough? In one of the articles I read it suggests downloading demonfeed or some other rss feed software... do you suggest I do this?
IOW, does it do any good to have multiple feeds or is ATOM enough?
It is nice to have you back!

All three of your blogs publish an RSS feed already.
Format Versions:
Your blog publishes the following feeds
/rss.xml
/feeds/posts/default
/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
Feeddemon is a news reader that allows you to read RSS from your desktop. It retails for $29.95. You can download the 20-day trial.
You can use a Online/Web RSS Aggregator.
BlogLines
Google
My Yahoo
Feedster
The following two aggregators for Windows are available for free.
FeedReader is a free lightweight aggregator that supports RSS and ATOM formats. It works under Windows 98 and later versions.
Omea Reader is a Free and easy to use RSS reader.

All of the above is good info.. You should really read it and internalize it. RSS is not going away and will be a more and more important component of the Internet to understand.

You have most likely seen the subscribe to atom on new beta blogs. The subscribe to atom is your blogs atom feed. People can subscribe to your blog using a newsreader such as Bloglines, Rojo, NewsGator, Google Reader, blogrolling, del.icio.us etc which is software that allows them to read your syndicated content from any of those websites without having to visit your blog.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has an extra description of RSS.
Sharon Housley article "What are RSS Feeds?" should better explain things.

As an extreme "newbie" to blogging, this simplified explanation of RSS REALLY has helped me!
