I’d suggest using google reader… you can *subscribe* to RSS feeds of your favorite blog (or other news sites if you wish).

Using google reader is easy, you login to your reader account and there you will be presented with new posts and comments (if you add that feed) of all your favorite blogs in one spot. It’s much better than having to visit 5 or 6 different sites multiple times each day.

so does that comments button mean that it will tell me when people have commented on this site as well?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and the idea behind it is to publish a site’s content in a standardized way. My post feed contains all of my recent posts. You can subscribe to a feed with a feed reader (either web based or a program on your computer) that checks the feed every so often for updates. It then tells you when a certain site has been updated. So instead of having to go through everyone’s blog a couple times a day, I get notified every 30 minutes about updates to the feeds I have subscribed to. I’ll do a more detailed post about it soon.

here’s a cool fix I found so when you login it dumps you back to the mainpage you were at, instead of to the profile edit screen.
