Need $10,000?

It might be too early for some of you who have just started blogging, but if you’ve been at it for a while, you might take a run at a $10,000 scholarship for student bloggers. Deadline for submitting your blog is October 6.

Jakob Neilson makes your blog better

I mentioned in class a couple of short articles by Neilson that can help your blogging. Here they are:

> How Users Read on the Web

> Write Articles, Not Blog Postings

On the latter, I keep beating myself up over wondering who the “world leader” was. My money is on  Ahmadenijad.

RSS Super Combiner-thingy

I think I’ve already mentioned this, but everyone’s RSS feeds are combined into one mondo-feed:

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=XIVSUDJc3BGYt6tnX0sBXw&_render=rss

If you put this feed in your RSS reader (aggregator), you should get a combination of the posts of everyone in the class, including my blog and this blog (the class blog). Also included in there is a feed from del.icio.us, for the tag “icm501.” So, if you have an account on del.icio.us, and you tag something “icm501″ it will also show up in this feed.
