For this week in our 23 Things experience we were asked to work with an RSS feed reader and to subscribe to some RSS feeds for Activity 1. I chose to use the RSS feed reader bloglines. It was simple to sign up, and assing feeds was also pretty self explanatory. I subscribed to Fox News and USA Today because I like to be kept up to date on what’s happening in the world.
For Activity 2 I am supposed to post instructions for you to be able to add my feed to your bloglines RSS feed reader. If you’re reading this, scroll to the bottom of the page. At the right hand side of the page is link that says, “Entries RSS”. If you click that link when it brings up the new page just copy the URL that is provided in the address bar. Go to your bloglines feed reader. At the top of your page there is a button that reads, “Add Content”. Click on that button. When it opens the add content box click on the “Add a Feed” option. It will bring up a box for you to enter your feed address or website URL. Right click and click copy to copy the URL provided to you from my blog. You have now added my blog to your feed!
For Activity 3 I am supposed to put a FeedMyInbox form in my blog so you can subscribe to my blog via email. I’ve followed the correct steps, now let’s see if I can get the form to post to my blog.
