Getting Started With Bloglines.com
I'm chatting with Brian and Brian here at the office. And I mentioned bloglines.com. Brian is not using something like bloglines.com yet. Instead of showing him how to get started using Bloglines.com, I'm going to blog about it. That way other people might also benefit.
Here's the steps:
- Go to bloglines.com
- Set up an account (they want your real email address.)
- Get the Bloglines helpers for your browser and operating system. I use the Bloglines Toolkit extension for Firefox, which allows me to subscribe to feeds through a right click menu. Similar things exist for other browsers.
- Browse the net, subscribe to feeds as you encounter them.
- Make Bloglines.com part of your home pages.
Re: Getting Started With Bloglines.com
I have tried Google reader (even recently after their update) and I found it awkward at best. I'm sticking with Bloglines for now. But I'll switch as soon as something genuinely better comes along.
Web aggregation is the way to go for people like me, who use computers at many different work and home locations.
