Catch-up!! (RSS Feeds)
I think I am missing something with RSS Feeds. I will have to make them more useful to me, but right now it seems like more spam to weed through. What am I doing wrong? Anyway I will write more in my next posts. Hope everyone else is doing great in the challenge, and are not as far behind as me.

I'm behind too! (I set up my RSS feeds, but haven't blogged about them yet).
I think the key with RSS feeds is to use them to read things you would have read anyway - then it saves you the time of going out to each website. The beauty of it is, if you find you've subscribed to a feed that you never really read, you can just unsubscribe. I totally need to prune mine again - I got all excited about all these cool blogs, but I can't keep up with reading them all.
Oh, and some of them may be actual spam if someone has hacked the feed. I subscribe to Planet Cataloging (a whole conglomerate of feeds!) and they recently added a new blog to their line-up. But something went wrong and suddenly my unread had balloned to over 200! I was like "what's going on here?" but it turned out to be spam. Grrr.
