Flicker and RSS

I'm still a little confused on the purpose and how to use RSS. Do you just click on the RSS to get your updates?

I think flickr is a great tool to find pictures, but I'm not sure if the VHS will post digitized pictures of our collections on that website.

but what do YOU think about the VHS posting images on Flickr? Would this be an effective medium for making our collections available outside these four walls? How about LVA and LOC and the photos they have chosen to post? Any thoughts?

About RSS feeds and aggregators: The aggregator kinda acts likes Outlook or GMail in that it is the program in which you read your RSS feeds. The RSS feeds in turn are like emails. But to start receiving RSS feeds, you need to sign up for them. That's where the little icon comes in to play. I'll be happy to show you, just let me know a convenient time.
