Garden Gate is with it!
February 24th, 2004 by Kathy Purdy · 2 Comments
I was at Syndic8 looking for any gardening feeds I might have missed, and discovered that Garden Gate magazine has a weblog! Way to go! It looks good, too. Regrettably, it seems to be only for their tips, which I was already getting as an RSS feed. But they get five gold stars for being a progressive provider of gardening web content. I wish all the gardening magazines would follow suit, and provide at least some, if not all, of their web content as an RSS feed.
Sooner or later, everyone rides a hobby horse. I guess this (RSS feeds for everyone) is mine.

About Kathy Purdy
Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. •

You’re ahead of the curve, as usual. See Forbes magazine explain RSS to the masses, here (http://www.forbes.com/personaltech/2004/02/23/cx_ah_0223tentech.html).

The article doesn’t say much. But I think it would be useful to use in convincing commercial sites to give RSS a try, just because of the name recognition Forbes provides.
