#8(week 4), RSS feeds and bloglines

Oy, vay! Thing #8 truly is the hardest thing I have had to tackle so far. There's a lot more to it than most of the other things, so far. Still, I can see how it can be handy to have those sites I like to visit frequently all gathered together in one spot so I can scan, read what I want, and get out. I can also see how this will be useful for libraries, to help the staff stay on top of breaking news in whatever field they're trying to keep up with. These days computers have made life MORE complicated, not less, because of the vast amount of information that is available at a click, so anything that helps to manage it has got to be good.

I have now added Learning 2.0 Blogfeed, several Mercury News feeds (food & wine, home & garden, etc.), and Unshelved, and I tried to add a couple of friends' blogs from among my fellow participants (NoMarian and Rutyer's Rantings and Ravings), but so far they don't seem to be showing up, despite doing everything the instructions say to do. Maybe they'll show up later.

Hi, Inquiring Mind, I think the problem with your links to other blogs is that there are *2* http's in each URL. So maybe you entered http at the start of the URL and the system also automatically generated another http? Just a guess, I haven't tried it yet.
