Get all of your blogs in one place

So let me guess: You don't check back here every hour of every day to see if someone put up a new post? First off: Shame on you! Second off: That's ok, because now, as long as you are connected to the 'net, you'll get updates on new posts every hour! "How," you ask? I'm glad you said that.

You get the updates by using FeedReader! FeedReader is not just compatible with Blogger feeds, but also with any other blog that provides an XML or RSS feed, like... I dunno, let's say LiveJournal. Here's the best part: It's open source, and its FREE! Wee! Here's the link to download it: FeedReader Then, after installing it, create a new blog and put this link into it:
http://fhsu.blogspot.com/atom.xml
That's all there is! And to make sure that you ALWAYS know what's going down, go into properties, and under the "general" tab, scroll down to "Startup" and select "Run program on startup", "Start minimized to Tray", and "Check msgs on program startup". Also, go to the "Appearance" tab, and change the refresh rate to "Every 30 minutes" (or whatever time frame you want), and change archive to " ALL headlines " so that you get EVERY single post, ever. It's just that simple! Now, whenever you start your computer, you are in contact with all of your favorite blogs, almost instantly.

Oh, I almost forgot: if you have some friends on LiveJournal, just create a new entry and in the URL type:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/username/data/atom
where username is the name of your friend. Repeat for everyone that you'd like to keep an update on. Now you're done!

Actually, I'd like to have a laugh like a pirate. It would be very distintive.
