Thing 4 - RSS

As I mentioned in my post on Thing 3, the blog universe can be overwheming. I have decided to start small, with some of the very best inspirational sites. I created a LibraryTech folder, where I have subscribed to three blogs: Joyce Valenza's School Library Journal Blog, entitled Neverendingsearch; David Pogue's NYT Tech blog, and the blog of the Unquiet Librarian, a high school library media specialist whom I admire. I also created a file called books, where I have posted the Librarything author blog, and Unquiet Librarian (yes, I have her in two folders, as she is prolific!). We'll see how it goes.

My biggest confusion right now is that I am not sure where these posts will pop up. When I originally created my google account, I created a gmail address, thinking that I had to do so. I have my wilton school email listed as an additional address. However, my iGoogle page (which was created with the gmail address) does not show the blogs that I subscribed to. I guess I'll have to play with it. I also did not find the last video (creating folders) on the 23 thing blog to be helpful. The woman did not explain things well at all- I did better just figuring it out on my own.
