Illness, be gone!

Go away!!

It seems everyone around my home is on the mend and I’m praying it stays that way.  The illnesses have been pretty mild…but how do you explain that to a fussy one-and-a-half-year-old? In any case, barring unforeseen circumstances, I’m back in the saddle and will be available to help on Skype and IRC. As I said in the Roundup for this week, now is the time to catch up and, if you are having trouble, ask for assistance in getting up to speed.

Don’t be too concerned if you find yourself behind the rest of the class; I’m well aware that technical difficulties with installation and configuration can be a major time sink if this is unfamiliar territory to you. Now is the time to catch up, though. Carpe diem!

Remember, if you get sick yourself try and drop me a note to let me know what is going on. I anticipate this is going to be a rough fall and I’m willing to make allowances if you keep me in the loop.

Okay now…back to work.

RSS Super Feed

Ok, I’ve managed to create an RSS feed that combines all of the your blog RSS feeds into one “mega feed” if that will make it easier to add to a feed reader or a sidebar widget.  This followed out of a conversation I had with Phillip; it’s much easier to read blog posts if they come to you rather than you having to go to them.

C217 Super Feed

I used the service of FeedStitch in order to create this feed. It was pretty easy to do, and it’s a site you might want to bookmark.

Catching up

I will be viewing all of your blogs, subscribing to them, and adding you to my blogroll over the next day or so. I suggest you all do the same with each other! In order to subscribe to or add to your blogroll a blog, use the commands from the drop-down menu under Blog Info in the light grey toolbar along the top of the page. Then, go into Widgets and make sure you drag the Links widget to the sidebar to make it visible.

You can find that Maggie has already listed most class blog links in her blogroll, located on the right-hand side of the page of her blog. Nice work, Maggie!
