Things #8 and #9

Prior to the OCL Web Challenge, I had never heard of RSS feeds. I rarely have the time to check out "what's new" in any area so really could have cared less about these feeds...was reluctant to start this exercise. However, with A LOT of help from my "special buddy" (:-) I was able to create a bloglines account and subscribe to ten feeds and three additional ones from the list given for Exercise 8, and then find my favorite websites and subscribe to their feeds for Exercise 9. I found it easiest to go to the RSS portion of the site and use the "Add" feature on bloglines to subscribe. When I tried to do it another way, it would indeed allow me to subscribe to the feeds, but it was via Internet Explorer, not bloglines. Glad to be clued in on something I knew nothing about.
