Build Your Own Newsstand Using RSS

Build Your Own Newsstand (using RSS) In "Build Your Own Newsstand" we will discuss how you can create your personalized news list by using RSS feeds. We will start by talking about what RSS is, where you can find RSS feeds, and how you can subscribe to them. By the end of the class all participants will have a Google Reader account and will have subscribed to a newspaper columnist, a blog, a Twitter feed and a Flickr feed. The class is limited to 15 people. The class will last one hour. There is a class fee of $20 for NPC members and $30 for nonmembers. The fee can be paid by credit card, check, or member account.

Participants are welcome to bring their own laptops, but computers will also be provided.
