This assignment is much more to my taste than dealing with pictures. Maybe too much so, since once I created my Bloglines account, BooksinChaos, I went crazy adding feeds. I've got feeds to weather sites, earthquakes, news, librarian blogs, ihcpl blogs (though I'm so far behind there's not much popping up from there in my updates)and tons of stuff that allow me to check in on my favorite magazines headlines without having to track down the actual paper copy. It does, however, create a time sucking info whirlpool that I need to make an effort to plug. So I played around with the display setups so that only the subject lines show up and I have to actually click on something to read it. That does allow me to filter things out for time allotment - allowing me to at least slot things into "later I'll read that if I have more time - " and "I'm really, really interested in this."not ....
Of course, that means I'm selecting my info flow for tasty treats rather than veggies, but it mimics the way I've been reading the newspapers for some time. I sometimes miss the leisurely reading every word of everything, but there's just too much information, and I only have so much room on the intray of my mind. My blogroll is up to 22 feeds ... and counting.
