It's hard to type and still pat myself on the back! The explainations of RSS made sense; Google Reader is a snap to use and I added several RSS feeds that I can check on. The only hiccup was locating interesting websites for the RSS feeds from my Favorities list. Apparently I only bookmark websites that are real "yawns."

Thing #1: Blogs
Well, here I am scribbling my first post! It was amazingly easy to set this blog up. It took practically no time at all -- if you exclude the fifteen minutes spent agonizing over creating the cleverest, most descriptive blog name! Halfway through the process I wanted to switch to something about Jane Austen, but, too late! Oh well, I can always use that idea for my next blog!
I enjoyed reading posts on the Feel-Good Librarian blog; sampled just a few posts from the Shifted Librarian. I gave up, though, as that blog is way too "techie." I am going to go back and check out Librarian's guide to ettiquette -- just to see what that is all about.
As far as making use of blogs for the library we can use them for online book discussions, perhaps a blog for readers of particular genres -- mystery, romance, thrillers. I confess to being a little confused between blogs and the library social network. They seem quite similar.
