#9 Del.icio.us Part 1, Bloglines/Feeds revisited

Playing with it...

On a detour, I added shortcuts leading to Lee's and Danielle's blogs for opposite ends of the 2.0 spectrum, and Sarah's for balance. I learned the hard way that it's a good idea to look at other participants blogs instead of blindly plowing through the exercises, lonely laboring under the wrong impression that nobody's actually reading my collected works of yawn inducing yadayada. Here's some more yada harking back to Bloglines (Jeez, bold is work, the one occasion when I wish I had a PC, so I wouldn't have to HTML every friggin time I'd like something bold, or italics, or crossed out, or...):

When I added the del.icio.us Learning 2.0 feed to the sidebar using the blogger template I noticed that it only displayed a given number of headlines separately, leading straigh to individual articles, not to an index or frontpage. The same turned out to be true for my Spiegel feed. Darn! I hadn't noticed before! Instead of me Dummy trying to wrestle the blogger template, I handed the URLs over to Bloglines to fix the problem for me. Took care of it in no time. Now I'm sold. Viva Bloglines!

O, and I changed "Die Edeltraud". I did not wish death upon poor Edeltraud; "die" is simply & less nefariously German for "the".
