Beginners
If you are using Macintosh / Safari take a quick look at the Macintosh page under Operating Systems for an alternative.
It might be helpful to just print this page first 
1. Go to http://bloglines.com/ on the Internet by typing that address into the address window of your Internet browser (usually at the top –a narrow, white horizontal rectangle) and clicking the “Go” or arrow button to the right of that address window. Or you can click on the blue-highlighted link just above (print out this page first for reference).
2. Point your mouse to the “sign up now, It’s free!” line in the middle of the page and click on that.
3. At the registration screen, give them one of your e-mail addresses. It must be a working one that you have access to right now. Invent a password, provide your local time zone, your default language, and I would leave “subscribe to bloglines newsletter” unchecked for now.
4. Click on “register”. Once you have done that the web page will update and you will receive the following: “You are registered with Bloglines. Soon you will receive a confirmation email. Reply to that and you will be fully registered.”
5. Sign in to the e-mail account of the address you listed in registration and wait.
6. Within three minutes, you will receive a confirmation e-mail to the address you gave Bloglines. Open that e-mail.
7. In the text will be a “confirmation link.” That will be an Internet address that looks something like http:www.bloglines.com/val?key=wl8JANRH-TO. In some e-mail programs, that Internet address will be underlined and appear in blue type. Simply click on it. (If it appears in plain text, you will have to copy it into the address window of your browser; the easiest way to do this is to use the cut/copy/paste feature in your computer, then click “go.”)
8. Your browser will then take you to a welcome page for Bloglines.
9. In the upper left hand corner you will see “My Feeds”, select it by clicking on it once.
10. Right below the “My Feeds” tab after the Web site refreshes you will see “add”, select it by click on it once.
11. After the Web site refreshes you will see “Blog or Feed URL:” and an open space to type in information. Fill this open are with http://www.ktcminneapolis.org/ktcblog/ and click “subscribe. The easiest way to do this is to use the cut/copy/paste feature in your computer, then click “subscribe.”)
12. On the next page after the Web site refresh there is a bunch of scary technical looking stuff. All you need to do is put a check mark in the box under “Karma Thegsum Choling Minneapolis”. You do this by clicking on the box next to “subscribe to this feed”. Then select “subscribe” by clicking on it at the bottom of the page. NOTE: Sometimes in setting this up I have seen multiple KTC Blog feeds, just select one. The top one has usually been correct, reading something like this http://www.ktcminneapolis.org/ktcblog [http://www.ktcminneapolis.org/ktcblog/feed/]
13. At this point you should be back to the orginal “My Feeds” page on the left side. You should now see 2 feeds; one for bloglines and the other for Karma Thegsum Choling Minneapolis. If you click on that link you can begain to read the RSS Feed created at KTC Minneapolis. What fun!!!
14. Create a bookmark in your browser for http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs Your computer should store your password and log-on info so that bloglines will open automatically when you click on that bookmark. The page automatically refreshes itself every few minutes to let you know how many unread postings are in your list of feeds.
