RSS Feeds - Thing 9
Wow, I am sooo glad this one is over. For this exercise I started a bloglines account. It was said that this would be the most difficult "Thing" to do but in actuality it was rather simple, the most painful part of the entire process was reading all the preliminary how to's which I felt were unbelievably over explained. It seemed rather self explanatory to me except for at the end when they were suppose to send me an e-mail verification and it did not arrive in my inbox, I began to backtrack and to see what I did wrong in the set up process and became rather frustrated until about 45 minutes later when one of my co-workers suggested that I check my junk mail instead of my inbox and there it was and there it had been for the entire 45 frustrating minutes. All that aside. I had never heard of RSS feeds before and after learning about it I really wasn't sure that it was something that I wanted to do but after setting it all up and checking out the feeds that I put on that interest me, I have to say that I love it!!!! Now, I check it everyday. I didn't put any library related feeds on there yet because I know that they will just sit there unchecked because that truly doesn't interest me at this stage in my life but it may one day and on that day I will have a quick simple easy way to stay up to date on library matters. It's awesome!!!
