Whenever I’m writing these posts, I’m always worried about whether I’m being too geeky in my terminology while I’m writing about a particular topic. I’m always trying to walk that fine line between assuming that readers are familiar with typical Internet and technology related terms and just going the other way assuming that readers are completely clueless about things like RSS, wikis, blogs, and DNS. I don’t want to offend the savvier readers and have them roll their eyes and think “Does she think I’m an idiot?” when I explain what CSS is. Nor do I want to have less knowledgeable readers get perplexed when I write about podcasting and XML. So in order to help get those of you who aren’t quite up to speed on all the geeky terms, I’ve decided have one post a day in which I’ll pick a Internet-related term and try to explain it in plain English. I call it the Geeky Term of the Day.

For the inagural launch of the Geeky Term of the Day, I’ll be explaining what RSS is which will lead into a whole Geeky Term series that will focus on “Web 2.0 terms. If you have a term that you’ve been wondering about, please feel free to drop me an email and suggest it for the next term of the day. Those among you who are technology geniuses can feel free to skip these posts, or post a comment when you think the definition is full of manure or you have something better to add. Either way, I’m hoping that everyone will get something useful out of it. Enjoy!
