Thing 10 directed me to read about RSS feeds, and their history, and to watch a few videos on using RSS feeds. Next, the project was to set up a myYahoo or iGoogle page. Since I was using Google blogger for this blog, I chose to stick with Google this time. My new home page is set up- with the content changed slightly from its original form. I added the Google reader to the page. I subscribed to some feeds, and put those on my page. I still can't get the "quick blog" links to work from my Google page, but I am sure it will eventually get figured out.
I also found that when I click to subscribe to a site, it automatically puts that RSS feed into my task bar, not my google page- so I have to go back and move it, and then delete from the task bar. I don't know how to solve this yet, but it isn't really that big of a deal. I am excited to figure out how to organize the blogs as well, so that I can keep the library blogs separate from the blogs of friends and former classmates that I follow- and also perhaps a tab for author blogs too, since I follow some of those. I think this will certainly make it easier to keep track of things- especially since I often forget to check someone's blogs, and then end up with months worth of reading at once. It is going to take a little more practice, though.
