RSS, Del.icio.us, and Practicioner Reports
I have been and still am confused about what RSS feed is and adding a widget to my blog. I tried multiple times to add the icon (or whatever it is called) to my blog for the RSS feed, but everytime I added it, all of my bloglines got deleted. I am trying to research how to add this feed and what it really means, but I am not having much luck. I’m hoping to get help with this in class this coming week.
I’m also trying to learn about del.icio.us accounts and how to use del.icio.us, and what the benefits are. More on that later.
I haven’t quite decided who I am going to do my “Practicioner Report” on, but I have narrowed it down to a couple of people. I know I need to decide soon so that I can proceed.

Give an update on your use of RSS and del.icio.us. It takes some work to routnize all this, but it does settle at some point.
I’m hoping??
Today I spent some time watching the Plain English videos on the http://www.commoncraft.com/show site. Now I believe I have a much better understanding of some of these isssues. Thanks for asking.
Looks like your feeds are working great. When I click on them, I don’t get the “code” that I get on mine. We’ll have to chat more about how you set that up.
Like you, I was very frustrated (as we had talked about in class) trying to figure out these various applications and tools. Trying to navigate and figure out formatting issues with WordPres has been trying at times. As time goes by I am becoming more comfortable with them and hope I continue to grow. Your blog site looks great; looks like you are getting the hang of it too. We’ll have to see what else this program throws at us over the next year. You know you can always complain to me; I understand your frustrations since we are non-cohort cohorts!
I too just like you am not too keen on the blogging or in using an rss feed, but I really like del.icio.us. It really works just like your favorites on your computer, but you can get to it from any computer anywhere in the world because your favorites are saved online. I use it for my personal links such as the webmail for UCD, which I never remember and my websites I created in class since the addresses are long. I have yet to use it in class, but I think that history teachers and others who are doing research could find it useful to let kids on it and have good sites saved for them to visit. Let me know if you have any questions about it that I might be able to answer.
