I did today's 7th thing. Yikes! It was a little challenging mainly cause I had preconceived notions about what I was doing (I thought I was setting up another blog, no no, not another one!). I went ahead and trusted the process and it came out OK. :)
I was relieved to find out about bloglines! There are quite a few blogs to keep track of now and I was taking a lot of time reading all of them. On my Xanga site they email you when updates are posted to your favorite sites. Blogger didn't appear to do that and I was quickly becoming frustrated with the sheer amount to try and keep up with. So, woohoo RSS!! I can see how people who have many sites to keep up with would love this.
This is going to sound weird but, on the other hand, I like going to a persons blog page. It's like entering a private personal space, maybe a foyer or a drawing room, that I am allowed to visit and so I like checking on my favorites. I would be sad if I just got the update via the cold outside of RSS and blogline. Blogline felt sort of like I was peeking through a window. However, that being said many of the feeds I subscribed to (news feeds, and Unshelved) were nothing I would have to personally visit.
I found the process for setting up my blogline account pretty easy but I kept instructions from two places minimized so I could toggle back and forth to make sure I was doing it right. Once you get through the first "add" it's pretty easy.
