Directions
Go to www.delicious.com and create a new account using your CA email but later use your Me 2.0 name for your user name if you have not already from the previous checkpoint.
Go to 6-8 helpful but diverse sites related to your career either directly or indirectly and bookmark them to your delicious account if you have not already from the previous checkpoint.

Do not do:
Netvibes
Open a new NetVibes account at netvibes.com and use your Me 2.0 user name if you have not already. You should have a general tab which can be deleted or leave it. Add a new tab and label it "Blogs I Read."
Go and find an interesting blog related to your career field which has an RSS feed. After you have clicked subscribe to the RSS feed on the blog, you will be taken to a page that looks similar to the following. Many use Google Reader (which I recommend for personal use) but for this assignment, you will choose NetVibes.
After you add it to netvibes, choose to place the blog content in the tab "Blogs I Read."
You should now see the latest blog articles from the blog that you added to your netvibes. Repeat the process and add six in total.
Where is it?
You can find the orange RSS icon on most blogs and news sites. By clicking on the icon and choosing to subscribe to its RSS feeds, you will be able to view its new content articles on your preferred reader (e.g. Google Reader, NetVibes, etc).
