Now that you’ve created your Bloglines account, you will want to subscribe to your favorite blogs and other sites. You can subscribe to blogs and news sites because they offer “feeds” of their updated content. Traditional sites, typically not updated with new content, do not offer feeds, so you cannot subscribe to them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To complete Thing 5 you must:
A. Subscribe to blogs using three different methods
B. Search for blogs and subscribe to them
C. Reflect on Thing 5 on your blog
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A. Three Methods of Subscribing
There are various ways to subscribe to a feed. Let’s try a few of them.
1. subscribe button (try with Will Richardson's blog)
2. copy URL (try with David Warlick's blog)
3. Bloglines button (try with the 23 Things blog)
B. Search and Subscribe
Now that you know how to subscribe, it’s time to find blogs of interest. Have a look at these two blog search tools and subscribe to any interesting blogs you stumble across. Search for blogs that fit into one of the four folders you created in Thing 4.
Edublogs search: This is a keyword powered, custom-built Google search engine for education-related blogs built by educators like you. Just type in your search term(s) – all of your results will be from blogs and news sites with RSS, not other traditional web sites.
Technorati: Click “advanced search” on the upper right to see the search options. Try searching by keyword, then scroll down and try searching by tag to find posts related to your topics of interest. There is also a blog directory search which will bring up blogs related to your search topic.
C. Reflect - Blog Prompts for Thing 5
RSS can be a difficult concept for some to grasp right away - what questions do you have? What didn't work or doesn't make sense? How might you use RSS in your personal or professional life? Find anything in your searching that you'd recommend to others?
