RSS Feeds

I've seen the "little orange icon with squiggly lines" before, however, I had no idea what it was used for before reading about it through our lesson. I thought I was pretty computer literate, yet the more I read in this course, the more I realize I do not know as much as I thought I did. I'm very excited to be learning so many new things, and the best thing is that it is all so very useful.

There are several ways I can utilize RSS feeds. First of all, it could prove to be extremely useful if the library had a blog of its own for students to access and within that blog could be RSS feeds that would be benefical to students.

Implementing RSS feeds on my personal site can improve communication with my readers in that my readers will be more familiar with my personal interests. They may also be interested in the same things I am, and that always brings people closer together.

The RSS feeds I chose to add to my site are the link to learning 2.0, the monticello live site, and a link on health and fitness. I've just recently started working out and TRYING to eat right, so I thought it would be helpful to have a feed on this topic specifically.

I like the fact that I can simply login to my blog and have the most up-to-date news links available on my site without having to log in and out from different websites. I love simplicity.
