it's good feeling / finding that I'm a tad bit ahead of the game: When working my way through Thing4, I managed to figure out how to get a couple links to pertinent blogs set up - but of course, I'd done it the hard way. No matter - at least I did it.
The clips in these Things are very helpful and give just enough chunk of information that I can process without feeling overwhelmed. The three methods of getting feeds to my RSS worked out very well. A challenge I'm having is finding sites that I want to use that are RSS-able.
As expressed in a comment on Thing5 by someone who uses his RSS to get to links not directly accessible from the school browser, I am hoping that I'll find my way to links otherwise "forbidden" by our school filters because of the word "art" or "image" being such a no-no all too frequently when searching online from my classroom. (and looking back at that statement makes me feel like one of my students trying to sneak onto a game site while knowing I'm expecting them to be researching some important art technique :-)
And I still don't understand why my Thing4 posting is written in invisible ink - I've edited it to change its text color but I still can't see it. It will be interesting to see if THIS posting does the same thing or not. I have my fingers crossed now as I his that orange Publish Post button!

fumbling around in cyberspace is as exhilarating as it is frustrating...and I'm a long long way from home.

Well, everything is showing up now so that's a relief! I have no idea how I made it happen cuz I played around with it so much for so long that the process is just one mushy puddle in my head, but at least all my posts are now viewable! Hurrah!
