It was wishful thinking I know. I so wanted my changeover of blog location to be painful only to me and not to my subscribers, but unfortunately it’s not to be.
If you want to continue subscribing to Connecting Librarian, can you please change your feed to http://www.feedburner.com/ConnectingLibrarian. The RSS button at top right of this blog has the right address too, as does the icon on the address bar.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I sincerely hope you make the move with me and continue with me as I keep finding those connections!
Thanks,
Michelle

Yes I know its only been a day since I blogged on Week 3, but I’m fast and I’m trying to catch up!
I love RSS feeds. I already have feeds to about 50 blogs coming into Thunderbird, my email client (same guys did the Firefox browser, which I also love). I have also set up an RSS feed (with help) for my libraries blog, so I think its a wonderful invention.
This exercise required us to set up a Bloglines account. I know many bloggers who use Bloglines as their feed reader, but I hadn’t set up an account as I was happy using Thunderbird as my feed reader. However, I have set up an account with feeds from Flickr, which is new for me, as well as some other favourites. I will continue to use it, not only to stay familiar, but to help me out when I travel. I am going to Sydney in late Jan and then overseas in April for several weeks - at those times I will add my must read feeds to Bloglines so I can access them anywhere.
However, in general I will stick with Thunderbird. Its so easy to check your feeds and catch up when you are checking your email (and as I monitor 4 email accounts, that’s a regular task!).
