So I have looked at some RSS feed info and subscribed to some through google reader. Is the number next to the subscrition how many 'bits' of info you get on a given day? What if I don't want that much? Can it be changed? Ugh! Information overload or maybe I am just trying to filter it. What's really wrong with not knowing EVERYTHING! So I thought I would at least get something I was interested in and subscribed to the food network feed. Then I recieved info from 2005! Really!! why? If I get all these on my google reader account and this assignment is to put feeds on my blog I don't want to! However, I can and did post some relevant links to some articles regarding PE to my blog. I did this without using RSS feeds so I feel like I did not complete the actual assignment but rather just created a link!
Did I miss something...or multiple things...? (I think I like being in the dark!)

Hi Dawn,
I don't use Google Reader. I tried it when I went thru SLL 2.0, but I had already set up RSS feeds in Bloglines (www.bloglines.com) and for some reason find it quicker and easier to go thru the posting in than Google Reader. If I recall correctly, tho, the number after each listing is the number of postings in that feed. Don't give up too quickly, tho. When you subscribe it includes old postings, but once you mark them as read, you will only get the new ones as they come in. I check my bloglines postng site when I have a chance and just read those that interest me.
Dawn,
I use iGoogle and set up blocks on top news stories. It's not exactly a typical RSS feed, but I find that it gives me the headlines for major news including specific topics - i.e. technology. I'm working to use bloglines.com, but find that it's just one more step I am unlikely to take on a regular basis.
