Images, RSS feeds, & News Readers

Well yesterday I either worked very hard or did nothing at all; I can't decide which.

When I saw the picture icon on the Blogger Posting window, I just had to try it out. The least complex method seemed to be to use Google, find a suitable image, and use the code offered and the url of the image. It worked. As web stuff gets more user friendly, I move towards it by learning a few more "technical" moves. Picture a woman running, arms outstretched, towards an open laptop rushing through the air towards her. They embrace.

Spurred on by this success, I looked up definitions for RSS, worked on setting up the RSS feed for this, my blog. To find out if I had been successful, I clicked on the icon, took the link, and created a new channel in my Mac News Aggregator. It worked!!!! So now I'm going to start collecting educational blog channels. ZOWIE! I'm not sure what I'm doing but I'm doing it.
