Some helpful links!

Have a look at Google Reader.

Here's a little Wikipedia article about RSS feeds.

Check out Indexed, published weekday mornings as the coffee brews.

Take a peek at My Mom's Blog by Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Look for more blogs here at Google Blog Search.

Or here at Bloglines.

Or here at Technorati.

Or here at Ice Rocket.

And make your own blog here at Blogger.

And maybe later try Wordpress.

Google reader

Here's a little video about Google Reader.



It's a great way to keep track of all the blogs you read. It's as simple as checking your email! When you're reading a blog you like, look for the button that says 'Subscribe' or 'RSS' and click on it. It will ask you how you want to read the blog. The easiest way (I think) is just to choose Google Reader and let them do all the work. Then you have your email, your blog and your RSS feeds all in one account.

Add a picture to your post

You can add an image to your blog, either one from your computer/USB drive/etc, or from the Internet (you just need to copy the URL). Click on the picture icon in 'Create Posts' and go from there.
