Week 4 RRS

For the purpose of this weeks activity I decided to search for my artistic interests in pastels and drawing. I found it a bit difficult to tie down anything relating to this area of interest, but as they say persistence pays off and I managed to find several in the long run.

The feeds I subscribed to were: Abstract Art Pool; The Pastel Journal Blog; The Pastel Pointers Blog; The Pastel Artist Group; Charcoal and Pencil Drawing Blog and The Powerhouse Museum.

While I am sure there are many people who would use Bloglines I don't think at the moment that I am one of those people. Being the first time that I have used this service I think I would need to spend a lot more time using it to feel comfortable. In searching for blogs to subscribe to I found a great deal of rubbish and blogs that were inaccurate and not up to date. This is where the value of blogs is lost because anyone and everyone can have a blog.

I can see the value in it for some people and for libraries who want to keep track of specific feeds that they find important, but at the moment I don't think the value is there for me.

Blogalog :)
