POST #3 RSS-Feeds added!!

Wow! I can't beleive it!! I actually did it!! I wonder does it work??
Here are the instructions I started with to set this up:

Edit Your Settings to Allow RSS Feeds

 

Sign in and access your blog's 'Dashboard' page
Click on the 'Settings' link in the 'Manage' menu.
.                 Find and click on the 'Site Feed' link in the 'Settings' tab
Select 'Full,' 'Short' or 'None' from the drop-down menu labeled 'Allow Blog Feed.' This allows for the full version of your text to be syndicated or just the first paragraph. 
Choose the 'Advanced Mode' link to have more control over your blog syndication. The advanced mode allows you to choose if you want posts, comments or per-post comment feeds. 
View your blog page to see the 'Subscribe to Posts' through the Atom feed method. If your viewers would like to change this to RSS, then they will need to add '?alt=rss' to the end of the site feed URL.

**I just followed most of these instructions and then did what they told me to till it was done!!
Success!!!

I think I have the "RSS bug" as Richardson calls it!!

POST #2 RSS- will change my life??

Richardson says on page 72 that " RSS is a technology that will change your life." I'm not sure agree with him at this learning stage! Yes, I have found more sites to subscribe to just by going back to my bookmarks and seeing if there is an RSS feed. I have quickly learned how to add a subscription from that  site and now I have several new sites to view in Google Reader. I still haven't figured out how to delete the ones I read yet and the news is piling up. I don't know if I have enough time to read all the updates so I guess they will just stay there for now. I can always unsubscribe them if I want. Anyway, I found a couple of sites with tutorials and I think I might try to add an RSS feed to this site??? Here goes!!
