Wow, there are many steps to take. I have a concern for the old generation of librarians who are not familiar with these technologies. Would they be frightened by these technical skills?Many codes, many softwares/applications to deal with.

even though I always read blog either for personal or academic purpose, I never use the RSS feature. I used to click into it once and found the XML file then got no idea what to do at that time. Now I know it, thanks for the class!
Another interesting thing is that it also my first time to take another role of bloggars. I mean when we subscribe for the blog, we will be given the full authority of our own blog. It’s very nice to know another collaborative aspect of the blog that can be used in our profession.

Yes, so far I’ve tried the hosted software, Wordpress. It’s really easy to use and there are many languages to choose. However, they just improved their features (probably a few months ago) and somehow a bit hard for me to figure it out.
Another cool software I like is Druple.

However, I think Druple is a bit complicated to install on the server. anyway, I like both of them!
