Page Counter

While playing on the net and visiting other bloggers I noticed a few of them had page counter (not Web 2.0'ers) and thought this was a great way of knowing how many people visit my blog. Adding a page counter is so easy to do.
If you look to the right, below my page counter there is a link "free link". Once you have hit the all you have to do choose the style you want, then add a few details of where you want the link. I opened and signed into my blog then selected customise/page layout/add a page element. This is where I added my title and copied and pasted jargon from "easy hit counters" and saved...and just like magic...it was all done for me.
Have a go and let me know what you think.

Week 4 : RSS

Mmmm. I enjoyed this one... however I did research further using Google to make sure I was well informed. Two web site that I liked and thought the information was easy to understand were software garden and news. This site had a list of RSS feeds that were Australian and easy to subscribe to.

I think it is good that you can keep up-to-date with your favourite sites and latest information or news. Although I'm not sure how much I would use it or if I would have the time, I may be more inclined to use my bookmarks, at least it is one lest thing that I need to log into and remember login or passwords to.
I have subscribed to RSS feeds that I'm interested in and will keep an eye on them in the next few days, helping to decide whether or on rss is for me or not. I tried both ways of subscribing to RSS, by clicking on the little orange icon or by copying and pasting the URL of the site I was interested in into my bloglines feed, both ways I found easy.
