Thank you very much. I followed successfully all your instructions. I 
did add a "Live Bookmark".

I am still not very clear about the concept "RSS feed" and what it is for.

For example, after adding the live bookmark by clicking the orange icon, 
then I opened the web page, it becomes the following:

To: Tsunami warning system participants along the U.S. Atlantic, Eastern 
Canadian and Gulf of Mexico coasts
From: NOAA/NWS/West Coast-Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (Experimental 
Web Product)
Subject: Tsunami Information Statement issued 10/2/2006 at 8:11PM EDT

At 8:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time on October 2, an earthquake with 
preliminary magnitude 4.2 occurred 0 miles southeast of Bar Harbor, Maine.

The magnitude is such that a tsunami WILL NOT be generated. This will be 
the only WC/ATWC message issued for this event.

The location and magnitude are based on preliminary information. Further 
information will be issued by the United States Geological Survey

My questions is: what is the advantage of RSS feeds? Even a static HTML 
web page, I can re-write/update it everytime I need to. For the people 
who are interested in reading my web page, they can always come to my 
web page, open it and read "new" stuff.

My guess is that, the advantage of new technology RSS feeds is such 
that, if I changed something in my web page, then the people who are 
interested/"subscribed" my web page will see the new thing. If I didn't 
change my web page, they will not be notified. Correct?

BTW, I have found Google Reader being able to accept RSS feeds and of 
course have many lists together.

Thank you very much.
