RSS Feeds and Blogs

School Library Journal's November 2009 issue had an article on blogs and included a list of "Ten Blogs You Can't Live Without." I felt I could live without some of them but I do like

Reading Rants! http://www.readingrants.org/ ,

Read Roger (the Horn Book editor-in-chief) http://hbook.com/blog ,

and Educating Alice http://medinger.wordpress.com/.

While exploring these I also found

Fairrosa Cyber Library of Children's Literature: Articles, Discussions, and a Reader's Journal of Children's and YA Literature http://fairrosa.wordpress.com/ and

The Passionate Librarian--Babette Reeves: Change a Life; Read to a Child! Early Literacy Now for a Reader Later http://babetter.wordpress.com/.

They all had interesting things to say about books and reading for teens or children.

I also subscribed to The Unquiet Librarian http://theunquietlibrarian.wordpress.com/ and School Library Journal's Practically Paradise http://feeds2.feedburner.com/PracticallyParadise.

Needless to say, I did not limit myself to 3 RSS feeds or blogs. I may get overwhelmed--there is so much interesting stuff out there. And therein lies the problem. It seems really easy to get pulled into this wonderland of opinions and suggestions and lose track of time.

Of the Web 2.0 Awards I looked at the Food sites imcooked and ifoods.tv (which must have changed its name to Look and Taste). Both sites had video recipes and written recipes. Maybe I’ll try the recipe for Irish boxty which looks like a potato pancake-type dish. I also looked at Boo.com, a travel site. I plan to visit San Diego next month, so I searched for sightseeing recommendations. Does anyone know of places they think are essential to see in San Diego?
