RSS feeds

I just read three fabulous articles on RSS feeds. I truly did not know what it was. Very helpful was
this article by Quentin D'Souza.

School Sites
I thought it a great idea, as he mentioned examples of RSS use, for schools to have websites as blogs instead so that each department could provide up-to-date information and it would automatically feed, plus notify any subscribers of changes. The downside, as I view it from an Information Design perspective, is consistency. The sites that I viewed seemed to become lost in navigation once you click on a staff weblog (example). Each staff should have a link pointing you BACK to the main school site if weblogs are used for schools. Traditionally, the faculty would have a site using the schools url.
