The internet is , at its most basic level, fairly easy to use.  However, using the internet to spread a message effectively is not quite as simple.  While a person can host a blog or even create a basic website with little or no knowledge of coding or HTML, learning these skills can be a valuable asset to anybody wishing to use the internet as their journalistic outlet of choice.

Knowing how to use HTML can allow a person to build and maintain a website of their own from scratch.  While it can be complicated at first, extensive practice and use of HTML can allow a user to create a website tailored to their exact needs that template-based websites cannot offer.

RSS feeds allow for much more streamlined internet-based information gathering.  Whether the feed is dedicated to personal interests, traditional news, or both, it eliminates the need to visit and sift through a multitude of different websites to catch up on trending topics and new stories.

With an RSS reader, the stories come to the reader instead of the other way around. The reader can see all of the new and important articles displayed in a list, and can pick from that list which ones they wish to read, dramatically reducing the time needed to find out what the talk of the day is online.
