The tedium of RSS feeds

Well, it's been a while - about 7 weeks - since I last did any learning 2.0. It's good to be back!

I looked at the Week 6 exercises today, on RSS feeds. I didn't have a very good time - in fact I think I am only slightly less confused than I was before I started! I managed to subscribe the the Powerhouse Museum Photo of the Day and to a SMH news blog. I may be doing something wrong, but it wasn't clear to me how to find decent sites to get RSS feeds from. Even the Powerhouse site wasn't clear - I subscribed by searching for it on the Bloglines site - nowhere on the Powerhouse site could I find something saying "click here for RSS feeds' or something similar. I searched the web for some time, but couldn't find any other sites I was able to or was interested in getting feeds from.

I will have another go soon - hopefully with more enthusiasm and luck!

On another note - does anyone else find it annoying that there is no spell checker when you are posting? I realise I rely on it quite a lot.
