I have added a Flickr gadget to my blog, check it out on the left hand side!! It lets me post all my fav. pics that used to be (an will remain for a brief period) at the bottom of this blog. I also have added a YouTube Feed Gadget at the bottom of the page along with a fav. you tube video. Setting up both of these accounts was simple. The YouTube account let's you change the design of the page as well, which I enjoy; As well as finding videos from other accounts, I can upload my own and share them on social media sites like Facebook, embedding them in actual post. I have found Flikr's content very useful for images and art history during my undergrad studies. Although the image quality on Youtube is not always the greatest, it can an interesting way to share information, ideas, and independent film.
I signed up for 'Bloglines' as suggested but honestly didn't find it too exciting. It seems like an interesting place to maybe seek out other blogs, subscribe to regular feeds, or have them emailed to me. You can do the same sort of thing on iGoogle as well. What I do find exciting about RSS Feeds is the ability to post them on a blog/website or allow others to subscribe to your blog via a 'gadget'. These can be found by clicking on 'add gadget' under 'layout'. I placed this above my profile section on the left hand side. I have also subscribed to a feed I enjoy and inserted the feed on my blog through the same process, it just required the feed ulr, which is available on the site I was interested in or can be searched for using sites like 'Bloglines'. This feed can be placed anywhere on your blog using the Blogger Layout actions. So, yes I find the feed interesting and a plausible way to stay upto date on this feed, as well as sharing it with others. I have placed mine at the top of my site for this week, but will probably move it to the bottom of my posts for aesthetics next week. - jb
