If you don't have a blog yet, then feel free to use the blog feature here on Ning. You'll find it on your profile page. Scroll down to where it says "My Blog" and then click on "Write first entry." Type in your thoughts and then click "save." I encourage you to use
your Ning blog to record your thoughts of what you are learning in this community. Make sure you subscribe to the
blog feed from this community so you can read the communities blog posts.
And if you already have a blog, then you can add an RSS feed to your blog on your page. Just look in the left sidebar for where it says "RSS." Then click Edit, add your feed, and decide if you want to show just the title or the full feed. Then click "save."
Want to keep track of individual Forum posts? Go to the page for that post and click on the RSS feed.
