Found several feeds in the San Francisco Chronicle. Have added a friend and plan to add some more.
Being gone week before last, I am playing catch-up and clean up today so I can start on week 5.

RSS Feeds Exercise
OK, found one aspect of this confusing .... we have a blog on blogspot BUT have to go to BLOGGER for our rss feeds. A friend here, more knowledgeable than I with all this, has added a button to her BLOG so she can read everything from one spot.
She has promised to show me how to do it but I am going to try to figure it out on my own but wanted to add this post to fulfil my rss portion of this week's assignment.
Between my assigned duties and trying to find an unoccupied computer in the workroom, I get to work on all of this in bits and pieces. This is frustrating. Maybe I will have to resort to using a laptop (boo-hiss ... don't like that keyboard).
Off for check-in duty ...

Safety on the 'net - week 2, post 1
I do everything right.
I have disabled cookies for passwords, choosing to type in my password
EACH and EVERY time.
I use different passwords for different accounts.
I DON'T use mmn, home address, year of birth.
I frequently change passwords.
I do not save passwords in a word doc on my computer.
I write them down the old-fashioned way using pen and paper.
Had my checking account compromised Thanksgiving weekend, cutting short my plans to shop.
Someone else had fun shopping on my dime, buying electronics and high-end purses.
Numerous trips and/or phone calls to bank. Still don't know how it happened.
The bank adamantly denied that something on their end might have caused this.
Realized after this experience, that I know more about internet safety than my bank does.
This frightens me.

San Francisco
Week 3 - post 1
I was in San Fran last week --- what a glorious place to visit. Way too expensive to live there, I am afraid. Took a look in the classifieds of places to buy or rent.
HOLY COW!
Discovered I like the San Fran newspaper, The Journal". Planning on using something from there for the RSS feed.
I took 301 pictures --- love those digi cams! Just shoot everything in sight and then delete what is less than perfect. I haven't started the delete process however. Not enough time.
But I am planning on using some of the pictures for the week 3 exercise so stay tuned!
Thinking of work even while gone. Yikes!
