Just wanted to point people to something I use, as it may help them. If you are reading a number of blogs, a service like Bloglines might help. The service looks at all of the 'feeds' you have subscribed to and shows you all of the new posts. This way, you only need to go to one site to check everything, rather than going to each site in turn. To add my blog, set up an account, click the 'Add' button, then put http://billanderson.name in the 'Blog or Feed URL:' box. Bloglines will find my XML feed automatically, then you'll be done. Or, you could save yourself all that work and just click the 'Sub Bloglines' button at the bottom of the right column. Of course, adding just one site really doesn't change much for you, so here are a couple of sites you might also want to add:

Mariner enthusiasm and random Fleming thoughts - This is my good friend Josh Fleming's site. He talks about many a subject, including salami.
Nom de Plume - Sure, I haven't a clue what 'Nom de Plume' means, but it is the site of my friend Zia Munshi. She goes on about a lot of literary items, the status of her place, and wierd things that happen to her dog, which of course is named for a literary figure.

The rest of my feeds are geek feeds, so I'll spare you from those!
