Thing 2: Set Up An RSS Account and Add Feeds

I actually quite enjoyed this "thing." I will admit, I knew nothing about RSS before tonight, and I am an active internet surfer. If you are someone who is working on completing this "thing," and are still a bit confused, I would suggest watching this video, if you have not yet. It was extremely helpful: http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english This "thing" reminds me a lot of youtube, and how simple it is to subscribe to others users, and see their new videos right on your homepage, rather than visiting their site all the time in search of new videos. But with a reader, I can now view the new videos from my favorite youtubers, and view any updates on my friend Kay's caringbridge site as well! Very convenient. I can't really say that there is much I need to keep track of right now, I am not sure I will really use my reader at this point in time, but I can definitely see how it may be useful in the future.
