RSS

I've been playing around with RSS (Real Simple Syndication) for reading Blogs. It's a way of getting all our blogs like you get email. It's pretty convenient. I still haven't figured out all the in's and out's of it. But so far, I'm encouraged.

My Blog has the capability to feed RSS. Right now, I'm using SharpReader.

Hi Ted - SharpReader is a good program, but you may also want to check out some of the online aggregators. I personally use Bloglines, but others have said good things about NewsGator Online. I believe some of the features of NewsGator require a paid plan, while Bloglines is (currently) free for everything.

Jayseae,
Thank you for your comments. One of my frustrations with SharpReader is that on some blogs it only gives me the first couple of lines - but it doesn't do that on all blogs. That leads me to think it has to do with how the blog does its RSS.

BTW, on your blog, when I link SharpReader to it, I get your URL for the blog name and not your blog name.

BTW2, do you have comments working now?
Ted
