Thing 6 & 7. Learn about RSS, google reader 7 add some feeds

I had already added google reader to my gmail account so used the time to check my RSS feeds (of which I had eleven with a few hundred posts!!) hadn't checked them in months, therein lies the problem. It's just another thing you have to remember to check and allow time for on a regular basis which is also what I'm finding in regards to the the Ref blog. Now as well as checking my Outlook email, I need to check the Refblog, gmail account and google reader, if only I didn't have a real job. The biggest problem for me is getting distracted by so many links on each and every post, blog or page. You can get lost for hours!! I have also added a "subscribe button" to my toolbar which should make it easier to add even more subscriptions.
What I really need now is a tool to manage my Life so I have time for all this!

Thing 4. Set up a blog using blogger
Setting up a blog following the instructions is very easy, except I probably made a mistake with the "display name" I would like to find out more about the customization tools which I shall look into. Spell check works here fortunately! I shall try putting in a link now: http://authorities.loc.gov/
I shall try editing this after posting.
