Using Feeds to Keep Up With Your Blog Reading

I just wrote a post at my main blog: Blog Reading Using a Feed Reader that I thought some of you Vox-ers might find helpful. Did you know that your Vox blog (and your all you friends' Vox blogs) have feeds that you can subscribe to in a feed reader so you can read them all at once and keep up with updates. (Oh and, of course, this works for all blogs with feeds, not just Vox blogs.)

The feed for you blog's posts is this: "http://USERNAME.vox.com/library/posts/atom.xml" where USERNAME is, well, your username. So my Vox blog's feed is mattjones.vox.com/library/posts/atom.xml. If you want to know how to take advantage of all your friend's feed to keep up with all their posts, feel free to drop by my post! And feel free to ask me if you need any help or have any questions.

I've written a post on this on my Blog as well. Have a look - iWiz

Nice post there. Live Feeds were a great addition to Firefox for sure. Also, in the same vein, I would highly recommend using the Sage Add-on for Firefox that will allow you to manage those live feeds in a very helpful way.

I'm not so good at techno stuff, but I also figured out the beauty of google's feed bookmark. (Maybe other's do this too, but I use google's reader.) I installed this little subscribe bookmark in my browser and all I have to do is go to a page and click it and if that page had a feed, it will give it to me. Why is this extra special useful? Because it works on, say, tags, or media pages. I could go to someone's audio page and even filter by a tag, hit the bookmark and only get the audio with that tag sent to my reader. Pretty sweet, huh?

Yes! Google Reader is one of my favorite readers (is there anything Google can't do?) and the tagging feature is extremely helpful along with their bookmarklet that easily allows you to add a blog. Sweet indeed!
