Thing 2: RSS

I've used iGoogle before so that part was straightforward, along with adding Google Reader to it. I would really like to be able to cut and paste the whole list of blogs and add them all at once, but I don't see a way to do that. Hold everything - I just found someone who said she found a way to make it easier for us. Now to see if I can make it work... It was easy!
I still don't know what it was exactly that I used, but I'm okay with that.
Thank you, Thank you, mysterious benefactress.
There is, indeed, an app for the Droid so I will have to try that next.
Now if there were just an app to make time to read all those wonderful blog posts.
It would be very useful to have specific rss feeds available to patrons through the library's website so they can read local news and updates to the New York Times Bestsellers through the library's website. Anything that gets people dependent on visiting the library's website is a good thing.

  1. Wasn't that great of Katherine@WKM to do that opml file for us all!

    As for getting some RSS feeds embedded on your library web site, take a look at my RSS course page: http://lib20.pbworks.com/resources-rss There are some resources towards the end of the page that will create RSS feed widgets to embed on your web page.
