Welcome to the ENCOMPASS staff blog. We thought writing a blog would be a good way to keep you informed about our work and about the issues and people you care about. Ben, Juliana, Skyler and I are going to take turns blogging and we will even have some special guest bloggers that you won't want to miss. Our goal is to keep you updated but never bored. Let us know how we are doing - blog@encompass.org

Just a note to point out the blog subscription feed links that are at the lower right (you might have to scroll down to view them.) If you happen to read the ENCOMPASS Staff blog and you have a feed reader subscription, it would be great for you to subscribe. The feeds are run through Feedburner, so it gives us an idea how many folks are visiting our blog. Click here to see our feed list.

What is RSS? Here’s some information from Wikipedia -

RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a “feed,” “web feed,” or “channel,” contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that’s easier than checking them manually.

RSS content can be read using software called a “feed reader” or an “aggregator.” The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.

Thanks and happy reading.
