RSS and stuff

Here is an excellent video about RSS/Feeds and readers.

However, while adding a subscription in Google Reader, it is not mandatory to give the URL of the RSS/feed, but its enough to give the URL of the main site. For ex. you can give
http://shreyaswrite.blogspot.com while adding subscription in Google Reader instead of http://shreyaswrite.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default.

RSS feeds are actually XML files in a standard format, so readers basically incorporate an XML parser and pull out the feeds.
