New Post-due today!!!
What is RSS-Stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS informs me when a new event or update occurs and then it is broadcast over a feed which automatically notifies me either on Google Reader or by email.

You look for the orange and white icon to identify and locate an RSS feed.

I thought Google Reader was easy. I liked the fact that I could add and customize my news feeds and follow my blogs right from one page.

I was not able to access the RSS feed in Outlook. As an adjunct, I only have webmail and I could not find the function there to follow a feed.

I did try IGoogle. I added my Google Reader to the IGoogle page. I really likes the fact that it automatically picked up my google documents and put them on that front page--so one log in does it all.

I subscribed to several news feeds. I also added the Weather Channel. I did not have trouble with any of them.

Posting For Jay

I thought the user interface was easy and fun to use. I had used it a bit before and I have seen the templates in many blogs that I follow.

I just changed some colors and fonts.

I can see starting a family and friends blog with a limited number of people who can view it.

I liked the sample librarian blog and the news blog.

There is one blog I follow regularly called Six Until Me. This is a really award winning blog that is posted by a Type 1 diabetic woman in her late twenties. She talks openly about what it is like for her to live with diabetes. Since my son has D, her posts give me hope and often make me cry about what his life may be like as he grows up coping with this condition. Mostly the posts give me a lot of hope that he will live a long, healthy, and normal life.

This is a test post to Laurel's blog.
