Blog Lines Is Great

If you haven't tried it yet, I suggest you sign up for a free account at BlogLines. Austin first turned me on to it. It's great. Here's how it works. I log in to Bloglines and all the blogs I like to read are listed there. (I can add new ones as I want to). If the site has new information, the title is in bold, followed by a number which indicates how many new posts have been made since I last read it. Why is this so great? Well time is always 'of the essence.' Instead of having to visit Ian Perry's or Joanne's blog site every day to find nothing's changed, (suprise), I view it all on one page. Another nice thing is that if you visit their site in a pocket pc, it displays a special pocket pc formated page that loads really fast. Finally, they give you a snipped of code to paste in your site which generates a blog roll! The only negative thing I've noticed is that sometimes it doesn't pick up the new post immediately, but takes a few hours to register it. Try it out, it's free, and you'll love it. ~Jason
