The 1st of More.Feeds and why.

This very first post is for the purpose of explaining which feeds I chose to receive news from and the blogs/podcasts I want to write about.

The feeds I’ve chosen were The Chicago Tribune and BBC news. The Chicago Tribune the one news source that I’ve grown up with and read every time I’ve had chance. I personally just feel comfortable navigating through the site and sifting through the newspaper itself. As for the BBC news, I chose it because it does have a vast range of information and is a very reliable source. Also, I will be concentrating more on this feed. For my Google search query, I decided to search “Iraqi civilians” mainly because I think that this “war” is affecting them way more than it’s affecting us. Of course, that’s only my opinion.

The Milblogs and Military Podcasts that I’ve chosen were just ones that I found interesting. One milblog that I found was by “TheUsualSuspect” called “The Purgatorium”, and another was by “Citizen Soldier Sojack”called “Forever Changed”. Each of them has a few blogs that I am interested in and are from “the Sandbox”. The podcast that I chose was “Military Spouse Talk Radio”. I am kind of curious of what the spouses of our bravest have to say.

And at last, of course, I will be checking out my fellow classmates’ blogs.
