Thing 4: RSS Feeds

I understand what RSS feeds are and how it allows the news to come to us. However, I'm having difficulty adding the feeds to my blog account. I was able to set up an account on Bloglines without any glitches. What I having trouble with is viewing these sites from this account at blogger. Any suggestions??

Thing 3: Blog Search Tools

I am amazed how many blogs are out there and how many are blogging on a daily basis. The amount of time that people spend blogging and I didn't realize money could be made from it. I get it that blogging is an open journal for anyone to read. Not sure yet if I'm sold on the idea, though. It figures that google has it's own search engine for blogs, too.

Thing 2 Web 2.0

I decided to join this activity to keep abreast of the latest in media services. I'm always looking for what's new and how it applies to my position as a media specialist. I enjoy learning new things and challenging myself. This is surely a challenge. I hope to learn how Web 2.0 and all it entails can be utilized with students/staff to make learning occur.
Thing 1: Creating My Blog

I am still in the process of discovering all I can add to my blog page. I had a bit of frustration getting started since my ibook at home is ancient. I've worked out a solution and am now on a roll with it. I also attended NEFLIN'S Web 2.0 a couple of weeks ago at the Marion County Public Library and am excited about applying all that was discussed that day.
