For some reason I froze up at this point. Creating a blog-line account would mean another web site to go to, another password and user name to remember. All so I could find (eventually) all of the blogs I want to subscribe to. At home I have used Outlook to save my RSS feeds but I cannot take my home Outlook with me everywhere I go and my WSD Outlook account would go over its limit in no time if I tried to save RSS feeds to it. (Actually I tried with Megan Kortlandt's class blog and got my first ever 'your mailbox is over the limit' message.)
Then I remembered the video for Thing 4 saying you could use Google Reader, how wonderful I already have a google account! Not only do I have gmail but I also use google voice to stay in contact with the other techies in the WSD. All in one web site, I like that!
Now I am beginning to wonder what other wonderful things Google can do. To stay on track with my idea of creating a help site for WSD employees I think I will investigate this some more.

Google Reader and Bloglines are similar so you can try them out then see if you have a preference. I like both but started with Google Reader before using Bloglines for this class.
PJay,
I will be interesting to see your take on this. I was in the first group and found a few new things. I'm not a tech person but know my way around. Most of what I found required what we don't have at the elementary level- access. At least for my classes-art.
