If you are new to blogs and RSS feeds and want to just “dip a toe in the water”, then the web based RSS reader Bloglines is a good place to start. This is an excellent tutorial, with screen shots, that takes you through the process of setting up a Bloglines account, adding feeds and also includes a section on how to search for blogs.
This is the web site of the new UK government department responsible for, amongst other things, VAT and Income Tax and formed by the merger of the Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise. Having spent so many hours, days and weeks trying to find my way round the old Customs & Excise site I was horrified at the prospect of having to start all over again. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see a clear, easy to read home page and was able to navigate quite easily through the site to most of the information that I needed. The search option got me quickly to documents and guides that I could not easily locate via the menus. Overall, I am impressed.
