Hi, David I agree with Samantha and Scott. "Overwhelming" is a good choice of word to describe the instructions I found in Syndic8, and I'm not a beginner. I've programmed in machine code and last year wrote my website in 3.1 HTML (very much like old BASIC). For a start, where's the syndicate-my-website button? Okay, maybe you can't make it that simple, but why on earth do we need to use latitude and longtitude to locate London, England, UK for my feed? I don't use a sextant to get around the web. Some of the information Syndic8 wanted was impossible to find, so I gave up and defected to FeedBurner, which does 90% of the work for you. Whether FeedBurner is actually syndicating my blog or merely giving visitors a choice of which newsfeed to use (a glorified add-to-my-favourites) I haven't figured out yet. But it did add my blog to my My Yahoo account to keep me abreast of what I'm doing on my blog. I must add a hit counter to find out if I have any visitors!

Secondly, Syndic8 is a great way to get started. This is a place to register your feed so that others can find it and include it in their sites / news readers.
