Thanks Nick - what had happened was the feed URL was so long that it pushed the right side of the screen out and I coudn't see the 'remove' button. Cheers for that!

Hi Nick, I was mucking around yesterday with feeds during a demonstration with Flinders Uni Students. Can you tell me how to delete a feed? Thanks Lynley

Hi Nick, I was taking part of the me.edu.au session last friday in Canberra and was playing with it - thanks for reminding me that I had to take Pru's del.icio.us feed off my account!!! I completely forgot that I did it... Gemma

Hi Nick - I'm probably interpreting the 'What I've been doing' too strictly. In theory anything I bookmark that I think would be of interest to me.edu.au audience, should be added to edna DSpace, so I put that feed in my profile. In reality, del.icio.us is too easy, DSpace not so easy :) - roll on me.edu.au social bookmarking! BTW: thanks for literacy bridge post - great for global ed workshop.
