RSS - Really Simple Stoopid

The course outline for this week makes subscribing to RSS feeds sound a breeze - here a click, there a link, everywhere a click, link uh oh! back to the missed step two lines back - complete bafflement!!  One thing RSS feeds are teaching me is patience.

Finally managed to subscribe to the following :

Entertainment News - The West Australian
(gotta get my movie fix somwhere)

Tame the Web:  Libraries, Technology and People by Michael Stephens
(my ambition)

ivebeenreadinglately : where a very intelligent sounding Levi Stahl comments about what he's read
(let someone else do some of the reading for me)

Libraries Interact : Blog central for Australasian libraries
(my side of the world)

librarian.net : putting the rarin back in librarian since 1999
(once more with feeling)

Well now I have a few of my interests captured and can log onto Google Reader and see what new posts have been made all at one website instead of searching each site separately.  The joys of RSS feeds - once the really simple part of subscribing to them has been mastered!

  1. I was initially equally baffled Mally. Glad I persisted though. You have some interesting feeds which I'm off to take a gander at.

  2. Yes RSS feeds were not the best but once you've worked it out it doesn't seem like that big a deal

  3. These look interesting Mally! i like the fact that RSS feeds have taught you something and does something that interests you! This is important i think when learning something new especially RSS feeds.
