"With comments" is crucial for me. Or at least, "with notification that there are, or are not, comments." The blogosphere is a social place; I don't want to download 20 interesting posts and have no idea which ones are being discussed, and which ones are just being absorbed. Some interesting LiveJournal posts will have several hundred comments. And I'm aware that's not obvious coding; different blogs have different methods for comments. But I'd pay for a subscription to the ability to put in a dozen or so blog URLs into a list, and get back an HTML file with all of their most recent posts with comments. Potentially, to get the HTML of the posts without comments, although that's less useful to me. (Hmm. Should contact code-happy friends and talk to them about putting together this ability.) |

Have no idea; haven't tried Google Reader. Every time I've tried to set up an RSS aggregator, I get confused and give up. Just looked again. I'm terrified of it.
It doesn't seem to have a way for me to add blogs that aren't on its short list of blog sites. Nor a simple way to just put in the URL of a blog, rather than using its search engine. And many of its RSS feeds are truncated, which makes them useless for placing into an ebook reader. (Not meaning to be whining; am commenting as I notice things. I'm trying to set up a feed to figure out how it works.) Picked half a dozen blogs, including a couple on LJ. Mmmkay. Yes, it shows comment numbers. Now, how do I grab the feed and throw it into my PRS-505? ETA Secondarilyy: how do I grab the *one* most recent post from each blog, rather than the several most recent from the busy blogs?

It's nice to see Google branching out in the formats it offers, but the quality control part of the operation definitely needs some work. Stephanie Last edited by sprise; 09-02-2009 at 12:44 AM. |

I am also able to in FireFox just click on the RSS icon in the URL/address bar when it sees feeds. That brings me right to a subscript in google reader page. I am sure I had to set that up, but I don't remember how I did it. BOb |
