My Experience with RSS Feeds

Hey everyone,

So it’s onto week 3 of activities. This post will be about the infamous RSS Feeds.  Over the past years as blogs were becoming more popular and I started readings various ones, going back to them on a weekly basis was getting a bit tedious.  There were times when I would forget to check a certain blog for new material, then when I finally remembered it there were many new posts that I had to read.  So I started subscribing to them with my email.  I have a folder set up where all blog post related emails go directly into it and can then spend a night going through them, which is soo much simpler.  Little did I know that I could set up an entirely different reader just for all of the blogs that I follow.  So I just signed up for feedly.  I’m excited to see how this works out for me, and especially if I remember to check the site on a regular basis for new posts. 

So currently I have a variety of items on my reader.  I love reading beauty, and style/fashion blogs.  So I have taken the ones where I don’t miss a single post and added them to my reader.  One of my favourite blogs to read is www.lisaeldrige.com/blog.  The author of the blog is a professional makeup artist in London, England.  I originally came across her through Youtube videos. She has been working in the industry for many years, and is now the creative director of Lancome Paris.  One of my favourite posts of hers that I have read is http://www.lisaeldridge.com/blog/25880/the-beauty-pioneers-helena-rubinstein/#.VVUJpflViko This post goes over how one lady (Helena Rubinstein) knew the power of intelligent marketing and beautiful packaging to get women to purchase various items. 

I will continue to read blogs it’s just a matter of how I read them, whether its going to the various blogs, in my email or on the reader. 

Have a great day!

Aarti
