RSS and Newsreaders

I Know my brother has talked about this and I've always wondered how it works. This is a cool idea. I'm a little frustrated trying to get the Google LIbrary News up in my bloglines. I like having all my blogs in one place along with other news worthy items. All my families have blogs and I know of several library blogs that I wouldn't mind following. Can you follow wikis too? I also struggled getting flickr on there. What am I doing wrong?

I've posted Anne's response to my technical issues. Thank you so much. You are always so great to answer our questions.

4. Go to Google news
Do a search you would like to do every day to see if anything new has come up.
school library for example
at the bottom of your results page you see the orange RSS square.
Click on it.
You now arrive on a Subscribe to this feed using .... page
Select Bloglines from the drop down box.
Voila!

5.
Go to flickr. Do a search. NOTE: search GROUPS not PHOTOS
You get search results.
Select a particular group if you have more than one.
At the bottom of the group's page is the orange RSS square.
Click on it.
You now arrive on a Subscribe to this feed using .... page
Select Bloglines from the drop down box.

Alternatively you find a photographer you like and then you do the same thing (subscribe to their photostream).
Go to the RSS square etc. etc.

Another tip don't you Internet Explorer or Safari to add RSS feeds use Firefox
