Feed it forward - now
_________________________________________________________
(A very happy feed…) /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The glossary term, “feed,” is up on the Examiner now. This is a very interesting one to me. I’ve been working on my new e-course, “The Writer in the Blog,” and one of the things I’ve been talking about in the course is how we share what feeds us.
Now, web feeds are certainly feeding us, but what feeds a writer may be very different from what shows up in the feeds on their reader or home page.
Then again, there’s crossover. Dogs are one of my most consistent feed-needs, and I tend to have dog pictures on my posts. When I come across a website that really has a positive impact on me, I often write about it on the Examiner, put a link to it from my own website, and tell friends. Like finding Havi Brooks’ site, The Fluent Self. Her work feeds me.
So I’ve decided to have a “Feed it Forward Now” event. Want to participate? Start by telling me your favorite web feeds. Look at feeds you’ve received for a long time as well as recent favorites. Tell me one or two or three in the comments below.
I’ll collect these and contact you with the next step of the Feed it Forward Now event.
Cheers and blessings,
Suzanna
