Thing #6--Subscribe to Some Feeds



Now that you've set up your Google Reader account and set up a few feeds, I want you to find and subscribe to two feeds that have to do with your project. You can search for feeds using the built in Google Reader feed directory or you can find appropriate websites that concern your topic and subscribe to their feeds.

As you search for feeds, try to find sites that produce content you think is appropriate for scholarly, college-level research. There's quite a lot of questionable health information on the web, so carefully evaluate the sites you visit before subscribing to feeds.

In your blog post, tell me how you found the feeds and why you choose them.

Blog length: at least 150 words
Blog must be posted by: Monday, January 22nd, by 9pm

Go to www.pubmed.gov

Do a keyword search on your topic, and see if you can figure out how to set up a feed. Include the URL for that feed in your blog post so I can check it out.
