John's Notes on blogs

Hi Friends,

When Allison told me she was going to put up a blog I laughed. Why would we want a blog? Do we want just anyone to see family pictures and know just what's up in our life? Of course, I'm the one that started it by posting pictures on Picasa. Anyway, I guess we decided we didn't care. So here's our blog.

Then I got thinking about everyone we know that has a blog that I never go to. I'm pretty sure our blog will fall into that category soon enough. Well, I found a way to add all my friends blogs in one page so I can quickly scan them to see if anything has changed. The secret is RSS feeds.

I used iGoogle but you can probably do it on any site that lets you add RSS feeds. I won't bore you with the details but here is the URL that tells you how to do it with iGoogle. http://decoding.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/how-to-add-an-rss-feed-on-your-igoogle-homepage/. Oh and it may only work for people that have blogspot (blogger) addresses. When it comes time to put in the URL add RSS.XML at the end.

Now I set my homepage to iGoogle and check out all the happenings in my friends blogs.

Enjoy reading ours because I enjoy reading yours.
