RSS feeds

Exercise 1: I searched for archaeology in Access Science, and successfully bookmarked my chosen article. Scrolling down I chose and saved an image. When I went back into MyAccessScience both my search and image were saved. Knowing how to do this will be very useful.
Exercise 2: I did the same search in Proquest and set up the alert linked to my gmail account. However I was again stumped by the RSS feed process. All went well until trying to add the URL of the feed to my Bloglines account, where the message popped up saying ' no feeds were found, please verify that the website publishes an RSS feed.' Well I know it does because I just copied it! This keeps happening every time so no luck and very frustrating.
