thing6 - rss feeds

I did get this far last year, but thought I'd better remind myself about the topic because I haven't bothered to keep up with my Reader.

At first I subscribed to quite a lot of blogs, newspapers, etc, but didn't like the rapid build up of unread matter - I'm more of a dipper and dabbler and probably prefer just going to visit interesting sites every now and again.

I did come across this useful article last year though - 'How to put your feeds on a diet' - it was/is nice to know that I'm not the only one with a tendency to induce my own overload.

So, anyway for this year I've added the ABC Breaking News feed - easy peasy - then I used The Australian Blog Index that Joanne and Rosita provided - it's a great resource, thank you - and added a couple of craft sites. Only one of them is Australian, craftblog.com.au, because it led me to another (Pink Penguin) that I liked - clear and clean pages, lots of patterns and ideas for bags (which I'm very keen on at the moment), and not so much about the hubby, kids, church, etc that one finds on some (especially u.s.) supposedly craft oriented blogs.

I've got quite a lot of sewing and craft links in/on delicious - not sure which avenue I'll use more.

Now I just need to work out how to make the links in this post go somewhere - aha there's a link icon - that'll be it! oh yes, and how to delete the feeds that I'll never read.
