Not going anywhere for awhile and need daily inspiration on why you should travel around the world? Read Why Go, our online calendar with a picture and quote for each day of the month to remind us why we travel.
Why Go is to help us always remember about the essence of travel - why we go, who we meet, what we taste, and how that changes us in the end.

Tracy Ann - My (albeit vague) understanding of the RSS feed is that if you have some kind of service - I use Bloglines, for instance - then you plug that link Sean posted into it and it'll update you when there's new material. This works especially well for blogs that aren't udpated everyday.
Hrm... thanks Jessie... that about covers my limited understanding. I'll go post over in my blog and see if my techie friends can give me some instructions (I'll post back here if I get more info)

I don't know how it works, only that it does. I added WhyGo's RSS feed to my Bloglines account, and now when I check over there I get the news of what's new. Perhaps Chris or Sean, the all-knowing gentlemen that they are, will enlighten us... When they're back from Germany, that is!!
1)If you have a blog check with your blog service to see if you can add RSS feeds to your "friends" list or "watch" list or whatever your service calls it. I use livejournal and, unfortunately, you have to be a paid member to add feeds to your list. I'm broke, so there goes that.
2)Subscribe to a service like Feedblitz that keeps an eye on your feeds and delivers an email to you once a day with any updates. PLEASE NOTE: I have never actually used feedblitz, I take no responsibility if they are evil, nor am I promoting for them, they just happened to be the second hit on Google when I searched for "RSS email service"
I'm going to sign up for Feedblitz now, I will let you know if it works or if they're evil

Cool, I didn't know Why Go had an RSS feed. I tend to miss days and catch up on them later.
FYI, if you use Thunderbird Thunderbird to read e-mail, you can subscribe to RSS feeds on it. I have a BLOG folder where all the Blogs I subscribe to land. So, it's almost like getting e-mail. I see when there are new messages.
