3.) Keeping Up: Set Up an RSS Account & Add Feeds

I read what was presented for the definition of RSS feeds and looked at other descriptions as well. I felt the CommonCraft video was a very good explanation of the concept. Maybe I'm more of a visual learner. At first, I thought maybe RSS feeds were going to be a little like subscribing to a listserv, but I was mistaken.

Setting up an account for an RSS feed reader was very simple, especially since I already have a Google account. Trying to decide what url's to add, now that's an undertaking. Once I started subscribing to several sites I could more clearly understand why someone would want to start a reader.

Depending on how much you want to wade through on your reader, depends on which feeds you pick. The news feeds can be very broad or specific depending on which url you subscribe to within a website.

Many of the websites I visit regularly, don't offer RSS feeds, bummer. The RSS feed icon is now one of the first things I look at when I open a website.

Taking advantage of RSS feeds will really be helpful when keeping current with any professional issues. I'm having fun with more personal information as well.
