I've been looking through the software that works with Blogger in between that have-a-life thing.<BR/><BR/>Blogger makes it easy for you to start these days - but that means it's also easy to do a half-job of it, too. I've always had a legion of pros to help me out on web projects, so I just acquired a few emergency skills.

I like "Bloglines." Easy to use, and free. Setting up a few "Google alerts" is helpful as well. <BR/><BR/>Have fun.

You don't have to enter a URL, just type in your usual handle or name. You can also sign into your blogger account if you have one, but it isn't necessary.<BR/><BR/>I know that graphic thingy with the random letters is annoying, but it does keep some of the annoying 'bot generated spam away. And since those are often pornographic in nature, I think I'm going to leave it up for a while.
