Talk to me like I'm 4 about *feeds*! Are they just for blogs?

OK, I only read one blog: Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. That's it. But I hear feeds are the way to go.

I'm so confused! How do they work? Are they just for blogs or do other websites use them too, and if they do, for what?

And the one time I looked into them, THERE WERE CHOICES! :eek: *Gasp!* TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!

I'd appreciate hearing how you use them, which feed program (not the right word, I'm sure) you use, and if it's worth it for this old dog to learn a new trick! Please explain, or if it takes to long to explain, please sum up. (And chocolate goes to whoever knows that quote!)

TIA!

I'm not much help. I've been blogging and reading blogs for more than a couple of years and yet I still just follow my bookmarks to read my faves. I just can't seem to get into feeds.

Thanks, Audrey, this is what I've been doing too, and will probably just stick w/ that. Thanks!
