Thing 5--Flickr

This is a photo I found on Flickr, loaded by pollobarca2, and located in the "creative commons" area. It is a picture of the beach in Montorosso, on the coast of Italy. I was there last October. It was a bit chilly in October, and the beach was not so crowded. But the water was that incredible shade of aqua blue.

Thing 4--RSS feeds

OK, I finally got it. I only wish that I had watched the video first! It was a short and sweet but to the point explanation of what needed to be done. While I understood the concept of RSS feeds, I wasn't so sure why I needed to subscribe to a reader. This is explained quite adequately on the video. The reader gives you one place to check for all the websites you are interested in. So I am now a Google Reader and have feeds from ACLD bestseller fiction, CNN, several of my co-workers 23 things blogs, and the Millhopper Staff Blog. Whew! I love it when I learn something new! Now it's onward and upward to thing 5!!!
