RSS: Really Simple Syndication
I have always wondered how people kept up to date with all the different blogs they were reading. I wondered how they had time to check them all each day and remember them all. That is when I learned about the RSS feed reader. It's an app that will allow you to set up all of the blogs you follow in to one place. Then you can customize it, categorize your feed, get updates of new blog posts, but you can mark them to read later. After reading the article, "The 10 Best Best Apps for RSS, News and More", I chose to use Feedly, first because it was free and was very impressed. As Cassidy explains Feedly is designed to be a simple way to build on newsfeed, and the interface is clean and simple. It was all of those things. I loved how easy it was to use. I would recommend it to anyone who is just starting using a blog feed.
Blogs I chose to follow:
Lessons from a Laughing Librarian: Sara is a librarian that loves to try innovative things and share them. Each Tuesday she shares technology. I like that she's real and admits that things don't work. She also includes a Friday Wrap Up, reviewing the week. I love the photos she posts. Check out her site: http://lessonsfromalaughinglibrarian.blogspot.com/
Library Patch: I love the information about the signage. My library is dull and boring so those were very important to me. I want to add a pop of color to update our library. Check out her site at http://www.librarypatch.com/
Letters to a Young Librarian:What an absolute gem of a site for new librarians. The advice is so real and deals with everyday issues, instead of just the ideal situation. Before you check out her site, make sure you have plenty of time! http://letterstoayounglibrarian.blogspot.com/
Mighty Little Librarian: She has many insightful posts and conducts webinars which are extremely helpful. Check out her site http://www.mightylittlelibrarian.com/
Mrs. ReaderPants: She does book reviews and shares library ideas. She discusses genre-ification. Check out her site: http://www.readerpants.net/
