But, then, every job and job situation has things that people need to learn and master. With the right attitude all is doable. As to RSS feeds, not to complicate matters with technical terms, RSS feed is an alternative means of accessing the information that now exists on the web. Instead of the user browsing websites for information of interest, the information is sent directly to the user. Instead of coming to the same site every day to see if new info is published, readers can be notified via either email or a feed to their feed reader. A more extensive and authoritative essay can be found here http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/aboutrss. In case of this particular blog, all readers need to do is to subscribe by entering their email in the field in the right upper corner, and they will receive automatic notifications when I have new posts. Besides email subscriptions, they can add RSS feeds to their favorite RSS feed reader like I have mine on MyYahoo. For that, they need to click the orange button and they will see see full explanation on how to add feeds http://feeds.feedburner.com/OnTelecommuting. I learned the same way, clicked here, clicked there, read one more time, tried again, and it did work. We have to face the fact that technological advances are being introduced, whether we want that or not. We can try them and embrace where they fit or can be in denial. Both are certainly personal choices. Am happy to help to learn where I can.

I can't spell! Another con is that the skills of typing, spelling and the mastery of grammer are required to feel confident in communicating. All places (like this feedback) should give the responder the ability to access tools like spell check directly without having to go some where else and cutting and pasting.
