RSS Does Not Equal Blogs
Many assume that RSS is only for syndicating the contents of blogs, nothing could be further from the truth. Blogs and online journals have rocketed to popularity in the last few years, and many bloggers use RSS as a means to distribute and syndicate their blog posts. Subscribers receive information each time the blog is updated. However this is NOT the only use for RSS. RSS can deliver any kind of content, including forum posts, discount coupons, newsletters or press releases. Blogs are just one type of information syndicated by RSS feeds. Blogs may be syndicated using RSS, but do not assume that content found in an RSS feed is from a blog. RSS Does Not Equal Blogs

Clothes dryers are one of the major causes of house fires, with over 15,000 reported each year in the US. Failure to maintain the dryer vent system is the number one cause of dryer fires.
