I now know what that little orange box means that says RRS! Really Simple Syndication!
The Common Craft video really explained in simple terms what RRS is all about. "The news comes to you from your favorite websites." The video said that there are two easy steps: 1) sign up for a feed reader (our class chose bloglines) and 2) subscribe to your favorite websites, meaning feeds.
I have managed to figure out how to subscribe to all 13 individual blogs from our class, plus added the main class blog. The blogline tutorial was helpful, and of course Myra was excellent in showing us what to do! I have subscribed to 8 other newsfeeds and need to find 2 more to fulfill my homework assignment. I also figured out that you can change your initial email address on your blogline and still keep your subscriptions!
Rafe Needleman's video "CNET video" said that RSS is our secret weapon to blogging! He said that you can eliminate the SPAM, set up filters to customize your blogs, and subscribe to your exact interests.
I'm not so overwhelmed with the blogging information process now. I can filter in my interests and have the news come to me!

It is nice isn't it to have these things come to you. Saves a lot of time.
Wow...look at you go, girl! Nice post! You are going to be quite the blogger...colors, pictures, links. Great job!
Hi Ann,
Good job with your RSS. I am having some trouble either finding the little orange box, or sometimes the copy and paste does work. Myra will solve that one tomorrow.
