Task 8: RSS Feeds

I am not sure that I am even completing the correct assignment considering an e-mail received on August 19th entitled 'This weeks assignment'.  In any event, these answers are for questions posed in an e-mail received on August 16th entitled Task 8:  RSS Feeds
.
1.  I subscribed to 3 RSS feeds:  Staff Picks, 25 Days of Christmas Cookies at Christmas Epicurious.com and Free Knitting Patterns:  Lion Brand Yarn Company.

2.  I understand the purpose of Google Reader and the site was fairly straightforward to navigate.   However I tried to 'unsubscribe' to one of the feeds (Staff Picks), and that did not seem to work.  I probably would continue to use Google Reader as the need arises in the future.
