Experiment with embedding RSS feeds in your blog. Consider news services or event feeds ("What's on") for dynamic updates. If you prefer, set up a feed reader as a one-stop-place for all your information.
Above is the challenge I am faced with. As I posted previously, I have embedded the BBC News feed into this blog as you can see. So far, so good! I don't think I realised that a feed reader was a different type of animal! I somehow thought that a feed reader would enable me to read all my chosen feeds in one 'window' in my blog. I think now that it is a totally different place for me to go on the web, although I could be wrong!
I had a go at using Feedly which I did manage to sign up for, but then got stuck. So I tried Bloglines instead and have created my own web page. It seems to be along the same lines as this blog - in that there is a dashboard you can tinker around in, then a private page for personal use. Have decided against going on to create a public page. Don't see the purpose of doing that at the moment, but it's an option perhaps for the future.
This is a good website you might like to have a look at every now and again. It also has an RSS feed.
ReplyDeleteThe website is "The Register" and the website address is: http://www.theregister.co.uk/
Do you use it? Looks a bit advanced for me! Perhaps I can aspire to to reading it?!
ReplyDeleteHave tried to access your blog as Lisa seems to be finding it very helpful, but I don't know how to. Can you help? I cannot link from the main BPC Library blog page or from the invitation you sent. Wonder what I'm doing wrong?! So much for me to learn.....!
