We've done a little sprucing up here on the blog, and we've added syndication options (right hand column under "Syndicate Us") for our blog readers. Clicking on the Atom Valid button will take you to the Atom code for this blog, and clicking on the XML button will take you to a nifty "browser enhanced" RSS code page which will also give you options to subscribe with one click to several of the most popular web-based RSS aggregators.
HUH? Have no idea what I am talking about?
In a nutshell, RSS syndication allows blog readers to "syndicate" the blogs they read - in other words, add the blogs to an "aggregator" so that all of the blogs show up in one place, and updated blogs can be read from one location, rather than visiting each blog separately. There are many aggregators out there, both web-based (you access your aggregator on the web) and local (your aggregator is a stand-alone program on your computer). For beginners, I recommend web-based aggregators such as Bloglines or the Web Edition of Pluck.
Here's some more information on RSS syndication:

The Feedburner Approach
We hope you'll add us to your aggregator and visit us often.
Have fun!
