I do not consider myself a good teacher but since I have something to share, I feel I have got to nonetheless. Blogging is great, getting to know how best to keep in touch with all your favourite blogs without visiting the blogs unless you want to leave a comment is greater. And being able to have all the blogs urls in a feed called RSS without forgetting any is the greatest. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It is a way to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and sometimes content to a wide number of people. It is used by computer programs that organize those headlines and notices for easy reading. Visit http://rss.softwaregarden.com/aboutrss.html

Back to the issue at hand, how does one get to keep all the blogs and other interesting websites close to one’s heart? There are some tools designed to fulfil this role. I am sure a lot of us know what I am talking about, but this lesson is meant for the rest of us that is yet to know about this opportunity.

There are some tools available for bloggers to keep in touch with all blogs they read by getting regular update each time a blog is updated. This is made possible via blogline, google reader, newsreader, opera browser (to mention just a few) which will enable you subscribe to all the blogs your read

Step by Step of using an RSS Aggregator/Reader:

Step one:
(using blogline for example): Log on to www.bloglines.com and create an account:

Step Two:

Click on the feed text to your left, and when a box with “subscribe message shows up, then you type in the url of the blog you want to subscribe to

Step Three: After adding all the blogs you prefer ,which I believe will be a continuous exercise, all the blogs you subscribed to will appear in bold letters until you click on them to read. The subsequent posts of the already added blogs will be the ones in bold letter if there is a new update

Tips on keeping up with comments on different blogs visited:

Do you know you can keep track of all post comments of each blog you have visited if you left a comment? It will be nice to do this so as to know if the blogger is giving you a feedback or want to generate a discussion. Some of us are guilty of not responding to comments meant for us, which is not good enough in blogville. Anytime, you are leaving a comment, try and tick the small box in front of “email follow-up comment to (your email address) then the deed is done!!!

I think you should know:

I just finished an interesting and refreshing session of Yoga and aerobics classes. Believe me, nothing could be better. You might want to try this too. You get home training if you want too. This is for Naija bloggers though since the instructor resides in Nigeria except you want to pay for his trip to meet you where you are (lol). To contact the instructor, send an email to blazingdaola@gmail.com or call 234-805-773-4783
