Thing 7

No sooner did I have my Google Reader (personal playtime) up that I went running to my favorite Harry Potter websites to get the RSS onto it. Someone mentioned the Library Journal RSS feeds recently so while I was posting Thing 6 on one internet tab I was adding feeds from another to Bloglines on a 3rd tab. Some days I can multitask. I did look at the 4 search tools under the Thing 7. I put a couple of RSS's on Bloglines and another one on Google, but I thought syndic8.com was hard to maneuver through.

OK, I am trying new Things, even some things not on the list. This came in the Star Wars newsletter I signed up for to keep on top for my Fiction Selection part of my duties. I will give it to the Library if I win. It took 3 or 4 tries to get the right combination for it to post to the Blog.

Thing 6

For the RSS, I started with Bloglines, and did the suggested feeds manually, except for some of my fellow bloggers, since I am already following some on Blogger. I then set up a Google Reader also, to see if I liked it better. Then I did some exporting and importing so that Bloglines is my "business" RSS and Google is my "personal playtime" RSS. I like somethings about Bloglines and other things about Google Reader. I have over 1000 unread in Google Reader at the moment, oops.
