Lesson 3: No Longer Homeless

Thanks, Web 2.0 Committee, for this informative lesson. Prior to this week, I thought I understood RSS feeds. I knew that they had something to do with updates. I had even clicked on the orange RSS icon a couple of times, thinking that I would begin getting email notification (or something) regarding updates. Then, because nothing happened, I promptly forgot about it. After viewing the video (well done in my opinion) a lightbulb came on--without a reader, I was RSS homeless!

I have since remedied the problem and set up a Google Reader account. I've subscribed to a couple of online newspapers that I often peruse, as well as my daughter's art teacher's website. Going to one place to check updates will be handy, and I've dropped them into neat little folders. I imagine I'll subscribe to more sites that I frequent, as I get in the habit of having them come to my home, rather than visiting them. I do love the reduction of advertisements!

I've just spent way too much time trying to figure out how to get those RSS feeds on my blog, but will solicit the help of my co-workers tomorrow morning.
