Just set up the new blog for class. A few notes about the first part of the lesson...
I know by many of the posts that several of us are FireFox users. If so, you might already know that FireFox has an RSS reader built right in! You have the ability to subscribe to feeds directly on the Bookmarks Toolbar. Once you have the subscription set up, just click on the tool for that feed, and you will see all of the latest "pushed" feeds from that source! I have BBC News, National Review Online, and even my local small town (Azle TX) set up with RSS feeds directly on my browser page. It makes using RSS much easier than going to an external reader!
I can also tell you that the whole "cloud" computing thing is running into some real-world roadblocks. Most of these tend to revolve around security. Many businesses are not comfortable allowing some other business to host their data "in the cloud," thus giving up all control over securing the data. I work for a financial services company -- and I can tell you that we would never allow our data to be hosted outside of our firewall. Our IT folks are so paranoid (rightly so!) that our computers are programmed to ignore jump drives -- you cannot download information from one of our computers without permission.
