RSS Feeds

I takes me a while to work out all these new tests. The RSS feeds test took me a while to get my head around. Now that I've got the feeds on the computer it's not so bad and self expanitary.

I had a hard time working out how to add the rss or blogs to the computer. I should read the hints first and not after trying to find appropriate sites.

The feeds I added were the opal training one of course, courier mail news, bollon weather, a houses for rent in brisbane site and hot books. I managed to add these last week and have gone back today to check these sites and how they update which they all have so I must have done something right. I was happy with the sites I picked as they all have had something of interest to me. I had a hard time deciding what to pick in the beginning and finding a site with the rss icon on it which was what I wanted. I changed the feeds trying to find the ones that had the right information for me. I think I could waste a lot of time seaching for the perfect rss feed.

I must admit I didn't really spend much time searching for library blogs. Obviously the opal training site I added first and I had read the update in an email before I opened the feeds. The hot books site was great with a variety of new and older books with a short story about each. Some of them we already have in the library but there were others I would like to order. I have customers who only read certain styles of books and this site will be helpful when I am ordering books for them.
