RSS Nightmare
I'll admit that I am new to this RSS deal. I have little idea what I'm doing and what few buttons I have managed to push have left me with more confusion rather than less. I looked up some information online and discovered that RSS is supposed to syncronize one's internet updates into a readable formate. I like the idea. Everyday I visit about 10 sites on a regular basis: 2 news channels, facebook, my online email, my uaa email, blackboard, my blogger, the weather channel, and the library. I would LOVE to have all of the information on one site! But, when I went to try and set up Google reader, I ended up with not the news stories I wanted, but rather tons of useless articles that I would never have the time to read. I just overloaded my reader with just one site! EEk! Help!

Did you watch the video on RSS? It explains it fairly well. Most of those sites don't have RSS feeds that would be useful for your purpose.
ReplyDeleteYou could simplify by:
1. Forwarding your UAA email to a personal account.
2. Putting all the links in the toolbar of your browser.
3. Using tabs in your browser so you can open the links quickly.
4. If you use Firefox, you could save all the tabs as a tabset.
5. Explore whether iGoogle can help you consolidate that information.
