[Noisebridge-discuss] how to read rss feeds

[Michael Shiloh]

Hmm.  I have much to learn before I can do this trivially.

However, there is an interesting comment in there:

"I also share what I like, but the shared feed goes to my blog, where is 
posted for other to see/read/enjoy...."

This actually might be the best solution, since, as a teacher, most of 
the blogs I'm following are due to their educational content, and since 
all my students are directed to my blog anyway, there is no harm and in 
fact benefit to having my feeds visible there.

Now I just have to figure out how to display these feeds in my blog...
