The Google Reader Blog has announced a new functionality which allows creation of custom feed for web pages that don't offer their own feeds.

This will ensure a track of the website changes made on any web pages. These custom feeds will in turn alert you about every updated information on your favorite web pages. Google Reader initiated this new feature to easily follow the updates through its custom feed, even for those websites that do not have their own RSS feed.

These custom feeds are most useful if you want to be alerted whenever a specific page has been updated. For example, if you wanted to follow Google.org's latest products, just type "http://www.google.org/products.html" into Reader's "Add a subscription" field. Click "create a feed", and Reader will periodically visit the page and publish any significant changes it finds as items in a custom feed created just for that page.

If a website owner wishes not to have feeds created, there is a 'opt-out' option too. Visit the Google Reader Blog Twitter account for more on this.

Gosh, I am totally confident you are attempting to be fully communicative here. But, I can honestly say that I don't understand any of the stories. "A new functionality?" Is that even a word? And, a new one at that.

" A Custom Feed" Is that like a home made bird seed holder? We already have a home made bird seed holder, so I guess we don't need this one.

"Reader blog twitter account??" Back to birds, only this time we are trying to tell if they are happy or sad??? It's hard to tell with the birds in our neighborhood. With the beaks and all, smiles are hard for them, although we can tell a lot if we look closely at the eyes. Well, maybe not so much.

"Click, create a feed??" Actually it's more of a pounding as Dad makes the feeders. It's hard to just click with the hammer.

And, the more I go down the titles, the less I know. Are there people out there who really understand what you are saying.

How about an adventure story or a good game of rugby. That I would understand. But this?

I am just an ignorant fool.
