2. Click on “simply RSS” and add this application.
3. Skip the send invitation and click on “add feed to begin”.
4. In the box where it asks for the URL of the feed, copy the URL http://eng105.edublogs.org/ for the class blog site and add /feed after .org, so it looks like this: http://eng105.edublogs.org/feed
5. Click add.
6. Voila! Updates to our class blog can now be seen each time you log-in to Facebook.
For Myspace users:

4. Under Share Your Widget, click on the little myspace symbol (blue people). This will give you the code.
5. Copy and paste this code into your Myspace profile (for example, in your “about me” section).
