You know how it’s fun when you happen to glance at the odometer at just the right moment, and you see the 14,999.9 turn to 15,000.0? Well, it’s fun for me whenever those 9’s are lined up and about to roll as a group, too.

.

The ‘moment’ just now was when I glanced at the blog stats number at the bottom of the sidebar. it said,

.

• Blog Stats

  • 15,000 hits

.

I realize some web sites get 15,000 hits a day. Maybe some even get that many in an hour. This one has been around for almost two years. But, I still got a kick out of seeing the 15,000 number show up.

Thank you for stopping by!

I hope you’ll visit again.

I enjoy the internet. I enjoy using WordPress for Deb’s House Concerts. But, I’m still behind the times with all the other internet tools like RSS and De.li.cio.us and … I don’t even know what all the options are. I’ve not been motivated enough to learn how to use these tools or why I should want to.

One that has almost stuck with me, though, is ‘feed’. I finally get it that it is possible to get a list of links to recent posts. This post is for those who are as clueless as I am about finding shortcuts around web pages.

Here’s what Yahoo says about feeds:

Feed the World

Would you like a free and easy way to help your site reach new readers? Or let current readers know when your site’s been updated? Sounds like it’s feeding time. A “feed” is what everyone from bloggers to big-league website publishers use to syndicate a summary of their latest content. Syndicated content comes in many shapes and sizes: headlines, photos, video, podcasts, sports scores, stock prices, weather — almost anything that gets updated regularly. Users subscribe to feeds via news aggregators such as My Yahoo!, which gather the user-selected feeds and display all the content in one convenient location. Subscribers can even access feeds via their mobile devices or email.

For this site, type: http://dhconcerts.wordpress.com/feed
and, you’ll see something like this:

I tried, but it didn’t work. I looked in the FAQs, and it looks like that’s not an option for now. This was my question: “This question is for WordPress.com: I would like to upload files of songs I have written and recorded. Currently, I have the songs at http://esnips.com/web/DHConcertsMusicFiles. I would much rather have them on WordPress as part of my blog. Do you see that as an option in the near future?” (more…)

This was the original Deb’s House Concerts blog. My friend Beth told me she really likes WordPress, so I’m trying it out. It certainly looks good.
