Testing my RSS reader

I have been in this job about three weeks now and one of my first tasks is to research new media and ways we can distribute our content. I have been looking at RSS the past day or two and just installed an RSS reader on my computer. I added my blog to the list of services it scans, so, if it's working, I should get a flag about new content shortly. I also have my reader scanning a couple sections of The Washington Post and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
