Thing 5

I found Thing 5 to be incredibly difficult for me. After trying to navigate and search for blogs to subscribe to, I encountered many problems. I used both searches (Google blog search and Technorati), and I found Technorati to be difficult to use. I was searching for blogs that went along with my Science education folder, yet I was finding pages that weren't even blogs. I also couldn't get the bookmarklet to work either. It wasn't in my dropdown menu, so I was unable to do that. My question is how can you be sure when something is a blog? I found pages in a blog search page, yet pages I clicked on weren't blogs and they didn't have any sort of RSS button on them. I might use RSS more in my professional life to assist me in finding information I can use in the classroom and for lessons, but I feel I need to understand how it works more, because right now I'm very frustrated with it. I hope I can understand this more in the future.
