Project Play Week 3

Okay, so I'm behind again. So what's new with that - I always seem to be behind. My mom always tells me I'm a day late and a dollar short. Any how.

This week I have learned about RSS feeds. I'm not quite sure how well I like them yet. Subscribing to the feeds was pretty easy, the difficult part is going to be keeping up with all of the postings. I really liked being able to subscribe to all of the comic postings. I'm not quite sure that I was subscribing to the "correct" feeds all of the time. I tried to subscribe to someone's blog that I work with and I got three options, all of which tell me there is a new post when there really is not. It confuses me.

There is so much more available on bloglines - you can even create your own blog there. I'm a children's librarian and I'm not quite sure how I would use this in for patrons yet. I'm sure that kids would like to be able to easily subscribe to their friends blogs. I could see how this would be helpful for a teacher because then s/he could easily subscribe to all of their students blogs. That would be really neat. I wonder how many schools around here are actually doing this.

Parents would probably like a blog for programming and story times. Parents are always asking Childrens' programming questions at the Circulation desk.
