RSS

This was my first experience with RSS, and I find it useful. I thought I might be overwhelmed with info, but it's nice to go out to Bloglines.com when I have a few extra minutes. It's not another email that I need to read. I signed up for slate.com, salon.com, and some book-related sites that I haven't taken the time before this assignment to explore. I can see using this technology in my personal life and also recommending it to some of our library customers to keep updated on topics that they're interested in. It's nice to get posts right when they're published, but for me, going out to a lot of different sites every day wasn't an issue. Still, this is a way to keep things more manageable, and I'm glad I got a chance to try it.

Today I also learned about saving drafts of my blog posts. I was just going to change a word or two and post, but then I thought I lost everything. I started to re-write and then found my original post. So, some good news on that front. And now, on to the next assignment. . .
