RSS fun

This assignment seemed pretty simple, so simple that I feel like I may have missed something. Looking for the RSS feeds on my websites was surprizingly easy. Just one or two clicks and I had a link set on my igoogle account. I think it took me as long to set up the account as it did to find the 5 links for it. The screenshot link didn't work for me, so I searched screen shot and I got a window showing me options including one on how to use the snipping tool.

I feel that I will be checking my account to keep up with my feeds and adding more when time permits. I really didn't know much about RSS until I started this assignment, now I'm glad I know what it does and actually use it. Since we were able to add feeds from sites we use personally, I am sure that I will find valuable information daily.

Teaching experience

I had a bit of a tough time getting the settings right to record my podcast. Once I got the right settings right, it was very simple. The trouble was in getting it to the blog.

Intro

This is my first real blog, I don't count the ones on myspace as they were more notes to friends and family. I am learning a great deal of information in the short time this class has been in session. I have already had a couple of firsts and I doubt that they will stop occuring. I view my first powerpoint as a success based on the grade I earned and the education I received in making it. I hope this blog will prove to be as successful. I will be having my 38th birthday tomorrow, won't be doing much celebrating as I am in a splint for the next 3-5 weeks and cannot drive during this time. It might be said that I am a classic late-bloomer, and I'm ok with that as long as I get the credit for the blooming up to now. Please don't mistake me for being immature, I have a 16 year old son that helped me mature early in life in many areas.

So far, I have found the starting of a blog to be more simple that I had first thought. Here I am with my fist posting and I didn't even know where to start on this an hour ago. Getting the information from the first paet of the module about Web 2.0 was more difficult than I expected, but I was fortunate enough to have someone send it to me so I could get started yesterday.

I will be adding several pictures as we go through the semester, just remember, I never claimed to be a male model or anything.
