Thing 3 - RSS Account

I can see you need to closely monitor the feeds you subscribe to or it could get out of control. Just the few things I subscribed to had 58 feeds in a matter of minutes. I had trouble with the 'Readers Club' review so I'll work on that more later.

I can see using it at work to keep up to date on best sellers and helping the public with Readers Advisory. For my personal life I can learn about my interest in heirloom and lace knitting.

One thing to realize about RSS is that when you first subscribe to a feed it'll probably have a backlog of older articles.

Once you catch up it should be better, but you are correct they can get away from you.

OK, when you read this comment, you should see a screen on your right, in which you can reply--not the one with the word verification at the bottom--that should only be when you leave a comment on someone's blog, "as they do not allow anonymous comments!!!!"
I think your site looks very nice! Don't be so hard on yourself!:>
P.S. I noticed that there is no place for me to sign in below--I think that is because I had already signed in to my own blog--maybe THAT is what you need to do! Call me if I am confusing!:>

And another thing...
How to add an image directly to your post:
When you are writing a new post in the 'edit' mode, it looks almost like a mini-Microsoft Word screen, right? At the top of it are options for text size, placement, etc, just like at the top of a Word document. One of the ones to the right looks like a tiny picture of a mountain scene: if you put your cursor over it, it says "add an image". Then it will ask you to find the image, by searching your computer for it. Voila! (again, call me if I'm not making sense!):>

Here's a discussion about replying to comments. You are right, it's not possible! But, your knitting lady DID leave her blog address in her comment, which means that that is how you can contact her, I guess. Apparently people also leave their emails within the comment as an indicator to contact them that way as well. Unfortuntely, this thing is still a Beta, so all of the bugs aren't worked out yet!
OK, no more bothering you today!

Terry - If you get this comment let me know. I did figure out how to add the photo tonight after reading 'How to post pictures on you blog.' Thanks for the help!
