We do in fact have such a feed, but we keep it very well hidden. If you scroll down the very bottom of the page, you’ll see a link that says “RSS Comments”

For those who can’t be bothered to scroll down that far, I’ll post it here, only a very little bit higher up.

[quote comment="78381"]okay, so I grabbed NNW and like it so far. Is there any way to keep up with comments as wel or just new posts? Thanks for the hand-holding, BTW.[/quote]

Oo, oo…pick me! I got this one, Mike.

Many blogs have a feed for comments that is separate from the post feed, which means that you have to subscribe separately.

My helpful knowledge ends here — I don’t know if the Roadhouse offers such an animal. Damn. I felt so awesome for like five seconds.

So, Mike, can you suggest a good reader that lets me monitor 5-10 sites at one glance?[/quote]

Google’s news reader is pretty good, and free (as in beer), so that makes it a pretty good choice.

I use an app called NetNewsWire, which is now owned by Newsgator. Newsgator has a free online RSS reader, which will automatically sync with NNW. NNW will also install on multiple computers, and it will sync with itself. That means that if I read a news article anywhere, on any computer or on the online webpage, it will be marked as read everywhere.

June- I’m with you. I still need the visuals to be happy. BUT, it beats checking in every 20-30 minutes to see if soemthing new has happened…

My one and only beef with RSS has been and remains: no pretty pictures and lovely layout! I can’t live without pretty pictures and lovely layout.

Let the record show that I’ve been toying with the idea of using a Reader for a while, and the video finally put me over the edge. Though it definitely could use a little “Production Techniques” magic. Good call, Sharolyn.

Congratulations Michael, you have a new convert.

[quote comment="77683"]As someone who does not use a reader, I am wondering how often it is updated. As often as the blog site?[/quote]

The RSS reader usually updates on a set time schedule. For example, every hour or so it checks all of your feeds for any new content.

The humming at the beginning is nice, but I’m thinking something along the lines of “Production Techniques” is in order.
