I’m a visual learner, have been learning more of the technical stuff at Marketing Ice:

Marketing Ice’s RSS videos

It wasn’t until I was watching a video of an SEO guy showing how and why, some of the ways he used RSS did it click as to why it was a time saving tool instead of a murky mystery. If you click on the above link, you’ll have to give an email address, you’ll get free access to a dozen videos, 2 which are about RSS feeds. And if you click on the Submit RSS button you’ll find links to a bunch of blog directories to which you can submit your feeds to about 70 blog directories.

I didn’t see feedburner listed, but it is also another cool place, I used it to set up a quick opt in to blog through emails thingie I put on the side bar.
