This week was much more calming for me. I am currently working on another Technology training program at my local library 2010 HPL(Hutchinson Public Library). We just had a session on RSS feeds and Readers. So this just allowed me to expand on that knowledge and have a refresher course.
I selected Bloglines to go more with the 23thingskansas project. I had set it up already when I worked on my 2010 HPL project, but I also set up one via Google reader. Our library is expanding its use of Google products to be able to communicate internally more easily. I like the function of the Google reader a little more than that of Bloglines, because you can just place websites and it will send an auto RSS feed if anychanges are made to the site. Bloglines, only allows feeds that have been set up by the website you are wanting to subscribe to.
On my Bloglines account I subscribed to Resource Shelf, Library Stuff, & Dilbert Daily strip. I already had some Feeds set up prior to this for Weather in my area from Weather.com, Reuters, The Shifted Librarian, Cute Overload, Comingsoon.net, & Hutchnews.com. These are quite interesting and are very easy to scan through. I think that RSS feeds are something that I will use more often, now that I can understand them more fully.
On my Google Reader account I subscribed to Hutchpl.org (which currently doesn't have RSS Feeds yet), Hutchnews.com, & Kwch.com.
I can't wait to expand these both to more sites and will be scanning for the RSS symbol when surfing the web.
Site is looking great!
