Finished Things #8 & #9 RSS & RSS feeds

For me, this was probably the less stressful thing I've done so far. I had fun getting started on Blogline and searching for the RSS feeds in my fields of interest. Those fields are a very mish-mash of interests and I wasn't sure if I would find any feeds that would cover what I was interested in. Boy was I surprised at the number of RSS feeds that are out there. They cover every topic you can think of--and then some.

I thought the low-tech video for this high-tech tool was a scream. It took me a while to actually catch enough of it to understand what was going on. I had to stop and start, stop and start quite a bit to hear enough of the instructions to understand what I was supposed to do. A better quality video would certainly be beneficial, but you take what you can get and run with it.

Thanks again to Kelley for her continued support and assistance. She is always there to prod me along in the right direction, without actually telling me what to do much of the time, hoping that somewhere, sometime this new technology stuff will sink in. She tells me that I'm 'new technology knowledge challenged.' I prefer: Ignorance is curable, stupidity isn't.
