Tecnology and Perserverance

I have spent too much time trying to add a feed using Add a Page Element. Every time I type what I think is the feed URL I get and invalid URL message.

Using RSS and News Readers.

At first I had a lot of trouble using Bloglines and linking sites.

I searched Bloglines 200 most popular feeds and found a few useful feeds. I also found some not very useful. It took me a while to work out that I had to click onto the link at the top to see the feeds in full - so I had deleted some of my feeds thinking there was nothing there.

I used Google Blog search and found a few sites that I liked. I particularly liked Writers Plot - A Blooming good blog. A place where writers experiment. I liked Kate Flora's blog "Are they Hopping" She wrote about shoes - single shoes left along roads and in public places and also wrote about shoes on power lines. There used to be two sneakers on the power lines near the library where I work but when I went to take a photo they were gone but I was able to take a photo of two shoes on power lines a few streets away.

In Bloglines under Publish and Share I was able to right click "Post a 'Subscribe with Bloglines' on your Blog" and save to favorites which made it easier to subscribe to a web page of interest.

Google Reader is a bit different and easier to use and save favorite feeds. You can mark an item and save it as a starred item
