Thing 6: Bloglines

To be honest with this exercise... I was not very impressed.  I spent a lot of time playing around and trying to find blogs that I was interested in following.  It was time consuming and in the end not fun...  I even had two other people (one librarian and one businessman) use this website and they became frustrated as well.

I did find the following blogs that I set up to follow:
Steve Spangle's Blog
Learning 2.0 Blog feed (from Dr. Wilson's suggestions)
The Art of Teaching Science
Science Fix
Houston Chronicle News Feed
This Week In Education
Teachers Teaching Teachers
Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day
Science Blogs/Education
Feed Reader Science

I am so FRUSTRATED with this application.  I can not figure out how to do a public page.  I only have a private one.  I have gone to the help section and I have done everything but erase my profile and start over...
This is what the help section told me to do; the problem was couldn't find the link.  Personally, I prefer to never go to this site again...

How do I activate my Public Page?

 at this point I am done with this blog...
  • Click on “Create my Public Page” at the top left of your Private Page.
  • Follow the wizard prompts
  • Select a Public name
  • Finish
  • Your public page has been created at http://www.bloglines.com/public/xyz
  • Click “Go to my public page” to edit your public page” message will then appear.
  • "Create my Public Page” should now read as “Go to my Public Page”

  1. LOL...haha...I am as frustrated as you are. I just left it alone and will look at it again later. Are the links working for you? When I click on the link I get an error page. Anyhow, If RSS is this difficult to manage and manipulate then I do not want to use it for me or my students.

  2. I am equally frustrated. I put all my stuff in there but I think I am going to use the Google Reader instead. Since I am always logged into google for my email and blog this just makes more sense. I was reading on the bloglines page and it seems like they just switched over to a new provider (or something along those lines) so maybe a public page ins't an option anymore.
