Manage your Blog Readings

If you want to keep up with blogs and news sites, try using a feed reader. One free and easy-to-use Web-based reader is Bloglines.

What is great about it is that it "keeps" your readings until you are ready to view them, then you can decide to keep them longer by checkmarking the item. The items you don't find interesting just disappear after you view them.

Once you create an account, all you need to do is find the Web address of the blog, or news site feeds. You find the feed Web address link, click on it, then copy and paste it into the reader. You can search right from within Bloglines for feeds. Or try going to your favorite blog, journal site, or news site to find a feed address.

On this site, the Site Feed is on the upper right-hand side.
