An idea for the Mediocres

How about an RSS feed? That would be fun. That way the new Mediocres would show up in my news reader.

Speaking of newsreaders and comics. You guys should check out Unshelved if you haven't. It's a comic that documents the daily life of a small library branch. It's been embraced by library people all over the country.

Problem is, I am extremely incompetent when it comes to computers. It's kinda sad really. I have only a vague idea what an RSS feed is...

And yes, Unshelved is quite good. It has been added to my daily webcomics trawl for awhile now. There are currently 48 webcomics that I read. It keeps going up...

48? Yikes. I just started using bloglines.com newsreaer and I got up to 60 feeds in just a couple of days.

Yeah...and I'm also going throught the archives of another 3 comics.

However, I don't read anywhere near as many webcomics as Eric Burns, who is a well known webcomics reviewer. I think he reads around 120...I don't know where he finds the time.

You're crazy, Clare. And bah, I haven't a single clue what a RSS feed is. All I know is that it has something to do with computers...care to explain anyone? I'll check out Unshelved, but I resolve to never have more than yen webcomics.

RSS is "Really simple syndication." It's a way to send a message out to news reader programs and then subscribers will see your website or blog is updated without having to go to it directly. It's like a personalized internet daily newspaper.

Very useful stuff.

Ah, yes. I still don't know completely what you're talking about, but I get the gist. That'd be nice.
