I knew it was going to rain, I saw the clouds yesterday..I mean its winter season but really with 80-90 degree weather it didn't seem possible winter was ever going to show up...but now all the construction stuff on the side of my house..the sheet rock, the grout material, etc.. is probably all ruined...oh well, it was all free and I love the rain...(gotta remember to listen to that inner voice that said...get that stuff into the garage *grin*)

Someone asked me a question about the point of XML or RSS files...I answered to the best of my knowledge but if anyone can explain a little better...please comment...

Question: What is the point of the XML (or RSS) files? Can they be edited? Actually the blog seems to operate with HTML, so I haven't quite got why the XML files are necessary

Userland's Definition: Radio automatically turns the content on your weblog into a XML feed that can be syndicated and subscribed to by other Radio users.

Here is what I understand about it:

1. your blog is in HTML format so you can edit and post it but
2. Radio converts it to XML in the background so that your blog can be read in the RSS format which is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites or blog sites.
3. You are editing the XML files in a round about way when you edit your blog.
