Alex Singleton attempts to explain feeds in [RSS – why and how on Samizdata.net](http://www.samizdata.net/blog/archives/2007/02/rss%5Fwhy%5Fand%5Fhow.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com "RSS - why and how | Samizdata.net"). Brave soul.

For some reason, the two biggest ideas I struggle to communicate to journalists who start blogging are what RSS feeds are, and what “blog” means. For some reason, most of them think that a blog is what most of us would call a post, and so they end up creating horrible words like “blogsite” to describe what everyone else calls a blog.

“Hey, I loved the magazine you wrote for your magazinepublication.”

Nah.
