#8 Can You Hear Me Major Tom?

RSS feeds are something I have been aware of for sometime, so its been a great opportunity to learn how to set up and use them properly. You can find the Man of Bronze's RSS feeds at
Doc Savage's Bloglines Account

I have organised some of my favourite feeds into two folders, "book reviews" and "MVLS Blogs". There is a way to create links directly to those two particular folders and generating the html coding is easy. However I cannot figure out how to add this coding to his blog in any other way than going directly to the htmal coding of the blog template and putting it there (beyond me at the moment).

Adding feeds to bloglines and organising them is dead easy. I tried various methods, from cutting and pasting addresses, to using features in Firefox, to using RSS options indicated on particlar sites and they all work equally well.

I think using feeds around book reviews and authors' web pages are obvious ways that public libraries can serve a group of patrons. More widely it could be used to aggregating news sources. Perhaps one danger of the new media is that as it becomes more targetted to a particular audience so people only sample views that they agree with. Blogline accounts that sample a diversity of views could be a way of exposing people to a more balanced view of the world.
