Thing # 8 RSS

Well that was quite a trip. Yeh, I took the RSS training and Yeh I registered with bloglines, but the real question is why. I don't spend lots of time checking different web pages for new information, shopping, or whatever. I read my daily Baltimore Sun newspaper (the real deal!) while I have my cheerios and tea. I am not into that ....yet. not to say I never will be.... just not yet. I have interest that take me away from the computer and outside. I like to be outside, fresh air and all that. I like to here those outside noises birds, insects, dogs, roosters. I am trying really hard to find things that I would find useful. I picked from the preset subjects those that interested me, booknotes, knitting, gardening, cooking, etc. Then I went through them and promptly deleted more than half. I thought there would be no ads, but I had a hard time finding the actual feed in all the other junk that was on the page. Some feeds required me to sign on or subscribe "NYTimes" others were under constuction or failure to complete, or some sort of error message came up . delete, delete, delete. ( unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe!!)
One last thing, I found the discovery videos, especially the first one on the list, very helpful!!
I think it was RSS in plain English
