RSS Feeds are rather cool

One of the tasks given was to subscribe to some feeds from a list including 'Readers Club new review feeds'. I tried going to the site and then clicking on 'Sub with Bloglines' in My Favourites only to be told ' No feeds were found'. Then I tried copying the URL into 'Subscribe to URL' in Bloglines - same message.

I'm spending a lot of time looking...

9/10 - Ok getting the hang of adding feeds - but how is all this different to my favourites?

Tanya says: If you bookmark a site in your favourites you would have to go in and manually check to see if anything was new or changed. With RSS feeds you only have to go to one place to receive all the new information from the sites you are interested in.

Ok now I get it the numbers in brackets after the Feed title are the unread updates - cool! Thanks Tanya.
