Exercise 11

Explored bloglines search tools for Costa Rica.
Used Topix.Net to try and subscribe to Enterntainement but the feed didn't take. Not sure if they become dead links similar to some of our internet sites.
Used Library Weblogs to finds a feed from the Law Library Reference blog and added it to my feed.

Most of the ones I tried were fairly straight forward and easy to follow.
They present several options for searching and information gathering.
