RSS feeds appear useful for someone who accesses lots of websites that are continuously being updated. However for me most of the websites that I visit on a regular basis don't really receive updates; as a result they didn't have access to RSS feeds when I tried to subscribe through google reader.
I liked the fact that when I opened up Google reader all of the blogs that I have been following for this course appeared. I was then able to scroll through and see recent blog attempts and keep up to date with other individuals in the course.
Now that i know how to use RSS feeds they will limit the amount of email subscriptions and updates that I currently receive, provided they offer an RSS feed link. I found that you can create a subscription link, however these do not always work as successfully as those that have been pre-programmed into a site. That is, they do not necessarily provide you with the same updates.
Having now been introduced to RSS feeds and know their capabilities I think that it is now up to me to go out and search further a field for websites that I can subscribe to.
