RSS Feeds Complete!

I can already see that RSS for this class is going to a major time saver. I have everyone's blog set up through Bloglines and can easily monitor when new content has been added. I included my own blog to follow any comments posted by others from class even though Blogger has an e-mail feature to let me know when comments are posted.

I like it all being through one feed. The new Outlook 2007 also allows for RSS feeds to come right through to my e-mail but only work is updated to 2007 and not at home.

It was super easy to set up so if you haven't started using RSS options yet now is the time to do it!

I also included some feeds for librarians in my list including NYT, Washington Post, and USA Today book reviews. Plus, a neat site I was not aware of called the Librarians' Internet Index.

RSS Feeds

Setting up the blog was easy and it was fun adding pictures and recommended reading lists. I am trying to convince school to let us blog but I will use a site incorporated into my website with more security and better ability to moderate comments before publication.


I have been meaning to play with RSS feeds and this is a good opportunity to do that. I registered at Bloglines and am just waiting for my confirmation e-mail so that I can add everyone's blog to my feeds. I can't imagine checking the discussion board daily and everyone's blog plus live chatting! Not that I don't want to talk to you but I don't want to waste time looking to see if anything has been said. There are too many good books to read to waste any time :)
