RSS

Its amazing - I've never noticed before the RSS button on the websites I visit regularly. I've now subscribed to Library of Congress Subject Heading weekly list, OCLC's Dewey Journal - DDC updates, and Incite

There was quite a difference in the ease of subscribing on some sites to others- I never managed to get the link from into PLCMC Learning 2.0 website RSS link into Bloglines. I tried pasting the first URL and then the second URL then the entire thing with HTML (without quotes or brackets) but no luck.

The easiest way to link was by selecting from the Bloglines feeds list itself - if you could find anything relevant. The OCLC site was also very good, select the RSS you wanted then select the icon for your RSS newsreader.

Like many things in Learn2.0, if I just keep trying with varitations I'll eventually get there or give up and try something altogether different.

The most interesting thing I read was about Open identity - that's what I really want - only 1 log-in and password. Of course, you'd want to be very sure of security - you wouldn't want your identity stolen!

No rants this week
