#9 Revisited library blogs/newsfeeds

I set up my own Bloglines account.
I searched Bloglines to find a couple of library related RSS feeds.
I subscribed to ShiftedLibrarian and Library Journal.

First, you need a "feed reader".
Once you've obtained a feed reader,(Bloglines) subscribing to an RSS feed is as simple as looking for the appropriate XML code. Most websites that publish an RSS feed will display a tiny orange box or button labeled "RSS" or "XML."
Click the button and your web browser typically goes to a page of cryptic code. Just copy the Web "address" or URL of that page and plug it into your feed reader. The software will then automatically retrieve and display that site's latest information.


I'm ready to subscribe to a few more,
some library related, some personal.
I know this will keep me better informed and will save time checking web sites:)
