31 Day Blog Challenge - Day 3

Ok, I'm still miles behind, but I have managed to do some catching up. It took me half the day to figure out how to claim my blog on Technorati and then to add coComments and link the two together (something called a spider???). Haven't a clue what I've managed to do, but I have a coComment button on my toolbar, an account at Technorati and at coComment so I think I've completed the task :) I also joined the Challenge group in Technorati and finally found everyone! :)

I also seem to have completed day 16 - Go Back and Catch Up on Something!
Task = partial completed.

I did comment on a post on internet safety, which happens to be a hot topic with me at present. I have created a PowerPoint presentation that I will be giving tomorrow at my former school on the wonderful virtues of Web 2.0, just ahead of the RCMP who will be giving a presentation on the dangers and woes of the internet and Web 2.0. Hopefully between the two of us, we can create a reasonable amount of knowledge and information for parents and students so they can safely use the wonderful Web 2.0 tools that are available, especially for school.

I think I'm a nervous wreck just thinking about having to do this presentation. I'm not exactly passionate about public speaking, but I have learned a great deal from this activity. I have learned how to create a PowerPoint presentation, how to get a YouTube video to play in it and how to get very stressed out!

But I do have some questions. One of the tasks was to ask a question in a comment, but I am not sure where to ask these questions so I'll put them in my blog and see if they get answered here.
1. I think my RSS reader is not really all that good. It is Wizz RSS 2.1.9 which was an add-on from Firefox. Anyone else using it? Is Google Reader better?
2. How does the coComment work? I have the button on my toolbar, now what???
3. What is the purpose of Technorati?
4. What is a blog roll? Is it something you have instead of a RSS reader or in addition to?
5. Lastly, how do you add the button for RSS to a blog in blogger.com?
