I found some RSS feeds of interest

In order to subscribe to some blogs of interest, I often google to search for it. I'm hoping that if the blog doesn't have an RSS feed, that copying and pasting the web address into the "subscribe" box in Google reader will keep me up to date instead. I guess I'll find out, right? Like I said earlier, these subscriptions would be great to add to our website in some respects, but it's easy to get carried away and never read all of your updated blogs because you run out of time. Whereas I am out traveling around the county for a great portion of my day, short of having wireless internet I am unconnected with the rest of the world except via cell phone. So I am away from "my desk" a lot.

RSS is really simple!

Copy and paste! That's all there was to this exercise for me. :-) I already subscribe to Stephen's Lighthouse, a scrapbooking feed, and the School Library Journal 2.0 articles. I look forward to seeing what my participant feeds have to say.

I just chatted with Allana! :-)

I have chatted once before with my credit card company. The experience was OK. Blogging with the Commission is much more fun. I can really see us using this sometime in the near future in order to be with our customers in their space and time. Thanks to Allana for her patience!

Workin' on a permalink

I am cautiously optimistic about actually getting all of this to work and also remembering it all in order to use it. If I can just follow the directions, right? :-)
I'm still working on the permalink part, however. We'll see...

Life long learning habits

I think viewing problems as challenges from which I can learn will be a challenge. :-)
I am working toward using technology to my advantage. When I am doing a paper for my library classes, I bookmark the articles or websites I need on Delicious, for example. I can't wait to play; I find finding time for that as a challenge. The rest of the habits won't/aren't too difficult for me.

Bloggin' away!

This is not my first time blogging. I took a class this summer that examined a lot of web 2.0 stuff. Part of our assignments were done on a blog. So I know how to post one, but have never set up my own.
