These are the help pages for WeaveZine.  Hopefully they will answer your questions about how to do things on the site.

I've just started to write these, so if you are looking for instructions on how to do something and can't find it here, please let me know and I'll add an entry for it.

Thanks!

I have tried to find out info that makes sense to me, but I need someone to explain to me what the RSS feed means and why would I want to subscribe instead of downloading individual podcasts. By the way, I love the podcasts and load up on them to listen to while flying.

RSS Podcast Feed

The RSS feed for the podcast is useful if you are using a program, such as iTunes, to automatically check for new episodes and download them for you.  

RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) is just a programmatic way to tell any listening (aka subscribed) applications "Hey, new content is up, come and get it!"

Hope that makes sense?
