RSS can be a difficult concept for some to grasp right away - what questions do you have? What didn't work or doesn't make sense? How might you use RSS in your personal or professional life? Find anything in your searching that you'd recommend to others?
I managed to get some blogs into my bloglines account. All three methods of adding them to the bloglines account worked eventually. I'm still a bit confused about the folders. Some don't show up in the left hand column. I'm thinking that perhaps I need to have a blog in the folder before it shows up in that list.
Maybe it's because it's late and I'm tired that the search in the two sites you provided was confusing. It just seemed like a lot of work to search the sites. I will re-visit that tomorrow and add a few more sites to my 4 folders. I feel I need more computer savvy to make this process easier. I constantly find myself having to get off the internet to check something on the 23 things blog. Then I have to log on again. It's so cumbersome. I must be missing an obvious shortcut that's right at my fingertips! Still, I'm confident that like anything else that's new, a lot of practice will make it easier.
There's no doubt in my mind that a specialized education blog would be a useful tool for getting new ideas for the classroom. Sharing ideas is powerful -- the creative process is enhanced when people can dialogue with one another and bounce ideas around together. Plus, the information is current so topics are timely.

It sounds as though you're doing really well. I know it can seem overwhelming at times.
One thing you might want to try is to open multiple tabs in your browser so you can easily move back and forth between the 23 Things page and your blog. From your File menu, select New Tab. You should then see another tab near the top of your window. Enter the URL of the second site you want to be using. See if this works better for you.
