Thing #3 RSS


RSS “Really Simple Syndication”
I like really simple. Being a newbie in this world of computer use, real use, I approached Thing #3 with some skepticism. Sure Myra reads hundreds of blogs and news papers and web sites, but I am not there, so how will this make things faster for little old’ me? This evening I blog to you as a convert of the RSS feed. It really does make things in the blogosphere much more manageable and yes, really simple. I set up a blog line account, added all my classmate's blog sites, my favorites (Novel Dame, The Pioneer Woman, Students 2.0, media clerks 2.0). This evening I logged on the blog lines and found a new post from Ree, two classmates Kim and Patricia, and Student 2.0. Wow, light bulb over head…that took so much less time than clicking a favorite and waiting to load, nothing new, click out, click in etc. etc. etc.
Considering uses for LMC and classrooms, I’ll get back to you with those. I am off to technorati.LS

You just explained RSS -- you hit the nail on the head. Great post!

Very cool that you have added labels to your post!

Hint: To display your tags (labels), you can add a section to your sidebar. Then, your labels will be clickable and take readers directly to that post. Go to your TEMPLATE, then ADD PAGE ELEMENT.

Choose the element: Labels Show all the labels of posts in your blog.

Instant clickable "table of contents"!
