What is RSS?
It stands for Really Simple Syndication and sounds kind of complicated but really isn't. Basically it takes your favorite websites (which you choose) and lets you know every time the site has been updated with new stuff and tells you what is new! Now you'll know when Isabella buys a new car or when she goes on vacation. You'll be updated and informed every time Isabella writes in her journal.

What is podcasting?
Podcasting is a way to automatically download and synchronize digital audio files from the internet to iPods, Palm OS handhelds, Pocket PCs, or other devices that play digital audio files. These audio files are usually in MP3 format and can be recorded and distributed by anyone.
