Thing 3 RSS
Really Simple Syndication is the term for this. Kind of a difficult concept for a newbee. The idea is getting clearer as I play with it. Somehow still feels like that video clip everyone has seen where the astroid is coming at you at lightning speed. So I envision all these blogs doing the same thing and trying to dodge them. Actually the whole RSS is just the answer for that. It allows in what you invite in, and you can pretty much ignore all those other blazing blogs traveling by. The next big problem is managing them. Being the order freak I am, I see this mass of blogs scooting all over each other in totally random order. Now I personally can't be in the same room as that. Miracle Myra has already come to our aide and showed us a tool to whip them into order. Now this becomes a managable task for me. I can hide them in folders, marked by me about their contents. Now I can open my room, check the floor to see it clean, and open those drawers when I want. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... I guess I am just one conceptual blogger.

I know that we are supposed to make "meaningful" comments. But, there is only one word to describe your post:
Great!
That's it exactly! Your analogies are too funny.
Oh Lynn,
I love your humorous take on this one. Here's to organization!
I am so glad that you are in the class. We need to keep reminding Myra that most of us need the kindergarten version of this web 2.0 stuff!
I added it temporarily to test it out. If you go into the Blogs page on the Obama site, you will see the RSS feed icon there. You can subscribe from there. My Bloglines had problems linking on the title, but could get there by clicking the title of the post in the Bloglines window. That will take you to the website and you can navigate from there.
