Podcasting

Phew, I have finally finished with Podcasting. There are a lot of interesting broadcasts out there. Listening to them on Podcast.net and Podcastalley.com was easy. However, I ran into problems when I tried to add the RSS feed from one of the book review podcasts to Bloglines. I tried first adding it from Podcastalley.com. I didn't realize at first that I wasn't the problem. It was only when I went back to Podcast.net, which is where I started, that I discovered it wasn't me causing the problem. The feed added without difficulty from Podcast.net. I am still not sure what the issue was when I tried from Podcastalley.com.

Bloglines

I found this exercise to be relatively painless. I added 19 or 20 feeds and organized them into various folders. It is easy to become engrossed in finding sites/blogs/etc. to add.

The task that I found the most difficult is sharing your Blogline. I know that part is optional, but, I wanted to give it a try. I succeeded even though I am still not sure what they mean by a "link target." Look to the bottom left of the screen and you should see my libraries folder from Bloglines.

I like that I can now go to one place to retrieve all the latest updates to some of my favorites sites.
