Thing 15: RSS Revisited

You know I had almost forgotten about my bloglines account! I am so glad that we revisited it through this exercise. I added two new feeds to my blogline accounts. I think this will help me to use the RSS more often. I added a scrapbooking video site that shares "how to informational videos". Since scrapbooking is a hobby of mine, it will motivate me to check my blogline account on a regular basis. I really see the benefit of having all my feeds in one place. It makes it more convenient to keep up with them. As I write this reflection I realize that I have to constantly fight the feeling of getting lost in the technology. What I have come to realize is that I need to really relax and use each little new learning as it comes. What I can do is try to not try to make everything "second" nature all at once. I have to adopt a sort of "just in time" mentality to this new learning. Otherwise, I can see how a person might get overwhelmed and give up! I don't want to ever give up on the use of these tools. I can see that this could be a way to stay connected to the world. Being a part of the cyber community keeps you in touch!

After today, I believe I will check my blogline account more often as I want to know what's going on with my favorite hobbies such as scrapbooking. It hasn't become a habit or an obsession yet? But I am hoping it will...
