#8 Make life "really simple" with RSS & a newsreader

Yes, make life really "simple"!!! I didn't find this a particularly hard task once I'd managed to read the instructions properly. Does anyone else have a problem reading instructions off a computer screen? For some reason I get along a lot better if I can read instructions off a paper copy instead off the computer screen. I had tried RSS feeds some time ago but got busy with other things and didn't bother with it again. However, this time around I have taken the time to explore them a lot more. I found some very interesting feeds and can see that I will most likely use them now. My reader can be found here. I also had to have several attempts at creating the link to my reader. I had neglected to change my settings to enable sharing and also to give myself a user name. All good now. I found this article interesting http://www.artknowledgenews.com/Vincent_van_Gogh_Masterpiece.html
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to view the Van Gogh exhibition at Brisbane Art Gallery quite a number of years ago now and have been hooked on him ever since. It was a truly awe inspiring experience to stand before a work from this great artist and actually see his finger prints in the paint.
