RSS - Really Spinetingling Stuff ...

I have seen this icon before, but always ignored it, thought it was just a funny picture or something.

I saw the YouTube clip about RSS, found it really useful. Basically, instead of me searching the Net for different things and either finding nothing or spending a lot of time finding something, the websites come to me. Sounds like having a pizza home delivered in a way. All I have to do is put my order in and wait for it to arrive. The main difference is it doesn't cost anything and there is no washing up!

I have so far just added feeds suggested, but will go back and have another play. I'm on a roll ... until next week!

Flickr attmpt


I told you I'm incapable of all this technology stuff. I have just spent the last half hour trying to upload a photo from Flickr and failed. Very frustrating. Luckily for me I have a brother who works in IT and he had to help me out. I can't rely on him all the time though.

Flickr in general seems great, just trying to upload a picture was a problem. I have attached the URL link of the photo I saw on Flickr, I don't know why it didn't work, but here it is:

I love the Mosman Library Flickr page, very inspiring. I wonder how long it takes to maintain? With everyone working so hard, who can find the time for this? I suppose once I get the hang of things, it won't be too time consuming, maybe I could do some work from home?
