Feeds for RSS

I checked out some different news feeds. They all seem to bring up information on whatever topic I entered. I have been right clicking on the RSS button and hitting "Copy Shortcut" and then pasting the link in my blogline account. I don't know if there is a more elegant way to do it.

RSS FEEDS

I'm glad this is the hardest module. At least now I know what an RSS is. I've managed to subscribe to 12 feeds, including askaway, but some of the feeds are not that interesting, so I'll modify my account when I have time. This could be useful at home for keeping up with favorite websites.

Thoughts About Technology

I think technology is great except when it's not. It's great when it works, but it drives me crazy when it doesn't. Also I am more more patient with people than I am with my computer. Sometimes it won't do the simplest thing, and when you get frustrated, it just sits there like Tar Baby. My husband works for IBM and when he retires he says he is going to take his computer out in a field and shoot it. In fact he is going to throw a party and let everyone take a shot! But at night when he is not working, he goes on the family computer and surfs the web.

I looked at some mashups and played around with some of the tools.

I visited Flickr and checked out some pictures on Scotland and other places around the world. This could be handy for planning a trip. This site would also be handy for posting pictures for our Scout troop.

I finally got onto my blog interface by going to New Blogger and typing in my complete LCPL email address. Three of us were having trouble getting back in because it was unclear what user name we were supposed to use. I tried my account name, blog name and abbrieviated email address, before we finally got in.
