… watch one thing: 

RSS in Plain English

… read one thing:

Cohen, Steven (2002) RSS for non-techie librarians. LLRX.com. Quick-to-read introduction with links to software mentioned.

… do one thing:

Set up a Bloglines account – you can’t go wrong with these guides: 

RSS tutorials. NLH. Aimed at those who have never used RSS before, with “how to” sections illustrated using Bloglines.

Wilkie, Fran (2005) Making sense of RSS. (NLH RSS Workshops). This pdf explains RSS and takes you through setting up a Bloglines account, step by step.

… take one thing away with you

take the reassurance that blogs, like all Web 2.0 “technologies” are non-technical and intuitive. This means that you will learn best by doing – far better than any course or workshop – suck it and see!!!
