Helpful Tip: Monitor Sites for Changes with RSS Feeds

Back in March we introduced you to a service called Feedity which creates a feed for sites without syndication. As I had mentioned at the time, there's nothing more frustrating than coming across a site that I'd like to keep tabs on that doesn't have any syndication available.
