Uncle Edgars / Uncle Hugos

I was checking on Uncle Hugos/Uncle Edgars webpage today when I noticed they have their own blog on livejournal. So I dusted off my RSS reader knowledge and added them to my reader.

The blog appears to list titles that have arrived recently at the store. I find their lists handy sometimes for more local authors and /or reissues of titles, but don't care for the format of the lists overmuch. It makes sense for them, but it's a pain in the neck for how I use it. I'll have to see how I like their blog.

Thing 30. More Ways to Use RSS and Delicious

I love RSS Feeds. I use them to keep up with what the librarian's in my system are writing on their blogs. I also use it keep up with 2 comic strips and some blogs on adoption. I have folders with each of my 3 groups. I had more but dropped ones I didn't read regularly.

Delicious is not my cup of tea. I bookmark in favorites what I want to go back to or find it on google. I don't use it. I'm tired of keeping up with accounts I don't find useful so I drop them.

Ning, Facebook, Rss Feeds - trying to keep up

Well, I actually went back and looked at Ning again today. I hadn't been there in awhile. A few more RCL members had joined a group I started.

I added the trip advisor to my Facebook account. That thing is addictive. I also added a count up clock to my account. Pandora is neat too. I can blame 1 More Mile JD for Pandora & Trip Advisor.

The rss feed has been very handy to keep up with others' blogs.

Catching up

Well, I'm finally almost caught up to where I think I should be, at least until the next journal heads my way. PLA put me behind. I had also taken some time off previously - voluntarily (visiting with my nephew and sister) and not so voluntarily(medical).

I've been having fun reading other's blogs and keeping up with my rss feeds. I'm easily amused.

Life after 23 Things

Ok, I'm still checking my RSS feeds. I enjoy reading other's journey on the 23 things. I also like the comics I bookmarked.

Someone who was doing the 23 things on a stick contacted me on Facebook. It's the first person who wasn't related to me or a coworker.

I did add the results of a silly quiz on the bottom of my blog. There is a link where you, too can discover who your tv boyfriend is. My tv boyfriend appears to be Peter from Heroes. I saw part of the first season of this on DVD. I thought he died at the end. Does that mean I'm involved with a ghost?

While I miss new things to try, I don't miss opening account after account. So there is life after 23 Things on a Stick. Until the next time.

Thing 3 RSS Feeds is completed

I did manage to finish thing 3. Yippee. I could see where the RSS feeds would be nice if you are trying to keep up with something. I'm not sure how much I'll use it in reality, but it could be a time saver for some.

Thing 3 RSS Feeds

The RSS thing is interesting. Linking it to the blog???? I finally put the link under my helpful sites for the moment. I'm going around in circles so I'll come back to it later and try again. I'm sure I'm missing some easy little thing.
