For this exercise, I was given a few search tools to use for searching for blogs to add to my RSS Feed. Personally, I preferred "Google Blog Search" or "Technorati." I found that these two search engines found the most recently updated blogs and the most pertinent to whatever subject I was looking for. When I typed in Music Education, several hits came up which was great! I found one blog called "Music Education Magic" which is very helpful in relation to all things related to Finale (the popular music software used to make sheet music, etc.). I also found a couple of journals that were easy to subscribe to. During this exercise I also found myself organizing my RSS Feed into folders to make things a little easier to access. Once you start adding all that stuff it does get a little overwhelming!
I did try to upload the "feed icon" and did download the actual icon but I am still in the process of figuring out how to add it to the navigation toolbar.....
Did I mention I'm not very technologically savvy?
Peace!
I have been a Finale user since Finale 1.0. Lately a competing software, Sibelius, has taken over as the teaching software of choice for music writing because it's more user-friendly.
