The beauty of Bloglines!
What an awesome idea! A website that tracks all the latest updates on your favourite websites and provides the updates all on the one site. Genius!
I have just signed up with Bloglines which does just that and I am loving it! I've also discovered what on earth RSS feeds are (basically special buttons which allow you to track updates on a website - a bit like an informal subscription to the website). So now, instead of travelling to each of the individual sites, I can keep track on everything that's going on! I think this has been my favourite exercise yet. I can't get over it!
Below is the link to my Bloglines site. Some of the sites that I now receive feeds from include The Age, Al-Jazeera, Unshelved (where the comic strip is from), Quicksand (totally awesome and worth checking out if you're reading this!), BBC News, New Scientist and Librarians' Internet Index, just to name a few.

Also I've decided that since my blog url is chocolate and books I should make some reference to them in each post.
Today's chocolate indulgence is Darrell Lea's White Rocky Road Chocolate. I'm not one for white chocolate, but my mother is and she bought a bar of it yesterday and it was so nice! It has a crisp coconut base, marshmellows, peanuts and lots of white chocolate! Yummy!

Well done! I love RSS feeds and readers, they are my lifeline to the latest content.
I will be looking forward to the next chocolate reference!
