Well, I think I did it! I have subscribed to some RSS feeds, loaded a picture, and have started writing this blog. I didn't have too many problems - just a small one when trying to add the RSS Feed from a PubMed search. It didn't work as I had expected, but, now I think I have gotten it to work properly.
In terms of how to use this, I think RSS feeds can take the place of many of the "SDI" emails I receive. For example, subscribing to the comic strip, "Unshelved" as an RSS feed will mean I can delete the daily emails, which will free up some much-needed mailbox space.
I think patrons may prefer RSS feeds compared to emailed Table of Contents, but, I need to do more investigating.
Also, I can collect my favorite blogs and other websites in one place and not need to visit the sites directly to look for updates.
I wasn't able to do this assignment at work due to the blocking of You Tube, so, I needed to do it "all at once" from home. It took me about 90 minutes, including watching the videos, setting up the accounts, and trying to get it all to work....
I look forward to experimenting the rest of the week; maybe I'll even add an audio clip!
