I now know why I could not get Netvibes working during "Thing # 6." Netvibes is an aggregator for my RSS feeds, and I had none; until now. I like that I don't have to visit all the sites I want to follow, unless I want to comment on them. What I don't like is how simple the directions in D2L make it sound. I still can't find the button I'm told to click so I can share. I'll keep looking around.
I created a public page, because I thought it would lead me to the elusive 'share' button, but I still can't find it. I've added the blog sites from my class-section that I follow, and now I can see which ones have added updates, for all of them at the same time. This is nice. I can see this as being helpful in both my personal life and as a teacher. I can subscribe to education blogs, create blogs for students and parents, and find out when they are updated, all at the same time.

Hi, can I ask what an aggregator is? Was that something I was suppose to learn in creating the RSS feed. Which RSS did you use? If it is Google Reader I would be happy to tell you how to 'share'
