Thing 2: Set Up and RSS Account and Add Feeds

I've always seen those RSS feeds and subscribe buttons on practically every site and wondered what they were and what an RSS feed was but never actually bothered to find out... well now I know. Having an aggregator account like Google Reader really does seem quite handy if you check a lot of news sites or sites with daily stories. However, I don't really follow those kinds of sites much; there are a few that I check occasionally, but not often enough to warrant the use of an RSS feed. Another thing for me is that I have gotten used to the routine of checking my daily sites and actually enjoy it. If I could use Google Reader and just have everything right in one place all at once, sure it would be convenient, but that kind of takes some of the fun out of it for me hahah.

So, at least for now, the verdict is in for me: RSS feeds, while simple and convenient, just not my cup of tea.
