Mystifying RSS Feeds ...

Well, I have to admit, this RSS thing really got me frustrated! I was so confused! But once I worked it out, I realised it was so easy peasy !!

I'm now subscribed to quite a few different feeds. Should be interesting to see what updates I get :0) I'm really looking forward to getting my Daily Dilbert Dose :p (http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2009-05-31/)

I also found one called "Library Link of the Day" which will give me a link daily for people in the library profession (http://www.twincities.com/life/ci_12471044). This feed sounded quite interesting and relevant, so we will see if I remember to check them for updates every now and then. A great thing to do in a lunch break I think. Something quick, interesting and also easy to find once you have subscribed.

RSS feeds are a great way to keep on top of the topics you like to read about without clogging up your e-mails with all those yucky reminders and Bloglines keeps them all in the one place. If you're really good you can organise them into folders so that all your library blogs are together and the news ones together and entertainment feeds together etc.
