Well I have been working my way through RSS feeds and aggregators and I have greater confidence - I think- the more I use it the better I guess. Some sites, e.g. ABC New England Northwest radio has a feed but when I tried this I could only get a white page with computer instructions and some text mainly down LHS.
I have tried fluking an RSS feed with sites I hoped would have one, but could not see on their site, by using their URL, e.g. the Bureau of Meteorology, but no joy. Overall I have had success using the RSS feeds or their URLs.
Over time I will add and remove feeds. Not all sites I trust have feeds so it will take a while to collect those I respect or find useful.
One feed that I have found interesting so far is to the National Library, in particular an item on a calculator of copyright status for different formats ie., a procedure to follow to determine whether the copyright has expired which could be useful in the public library especially with some local history materials.
We may be able to use rss feeds, flickr and a blog to share information, and more visual information, with users of our CWA country of study site too.
