Lesson5 Think Explore, Explain

Think
1. Which sites do you visit regularly? What provisions do you currently make to keep yourself up to date on new content posted to your favourite sites? (SCICU e-Portfolio)
I visit typing game site and Google map sometimes. Typing game site is free and we can record our score if we get high score. Google map is incredibly exciting that is why I visit these sites.

Explore
1. A website that displays a button similar to the ones here on the right has an RSS feed that you can subscribe to. Visit a few of the sites that you use fairly regularly (4~5 is fine). Now, can you find an RSS button? You might need to scroll down the page, and you will need to look carefully if it is a 'busy' page. Which of your favourite sites provide an RSS feed? Which ones don't? Can you think why not? (SCICU e-Portfolio)

All 5 sites I visited can not provide feed so I will try soon if I found new sites. I wonder why not.
