Me!
Nearly all technology users have a list of bloggers / podcasts / websites that they subscribe to (through their aggregator) in order to keep up with current information or, more importantly, to stay connected with the learning community. I subscribe to several categories of sites: educational technology, teaching and learning, quilting, and rose gardening.

A few I subscribe to include:
 * [|blog of proximal development]
 * [|Changing Connections]
 * [|Cool Cat Teacher Blog]
 * [|Dangerously Irrelevant]
 * [|Infinite Thinking Machine]
 * [|Moving at the Speed of Creativity]
 * [|NeverEndingSearch]

The "people" or "sites" or "podcasts" you subscribe become your "blogrolls". Often, when you visit some of these sites, you will find the host of the blog or website has listed THEIR blogroll. This is very cool--when you find a site you really like, it is great to see who that person follows.

All of these sites have a RSS subscription feed on them and you can subscribe to the feed so that anytime there is a change on the site, the site will appear in your aggregator.

On way to find these "blogrolls" is to do a google search. Simple go to Google and type in "quilting blogrolls" or "teaching blogrolls".

Now, let's learn how to create this!
