You'll usually find them listed by that name or "atom feed" which, for your purposes, means the same thing. <br><br>But you need a special "reader" to have them come in at one place on your computer. My favorite is Omea, but that may look to confusing for a newbie. It's been a couple of years I've used Outlook, but if that is your email program and if memory serves, it includes an rss reader. If not, ask your friend to suggest a user-friendly reader. Most of them are free downloads.<br><br>Technorati is a service that lists blogs that have linked to you. (It's not very reliable.) You can also search for blogs by keyword at the site and you can set up topic keywords you are interested in to track those subject. I find Google Alerts words better.<br><br>Bloglines is an online free service for rss feeds. You enter the feed in your account there and the new posts drop in every day and you visit that site to read them.<br><br>Blogrolling is another service (a fee service, I believe) where you can list the blogs you want to appear in your sidebar and by entering just a little html code in your blog, it will always update itself when you add new blogs at the blogrolling site.<br><br>Hope that helps a little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317657106509563621.post-85186335497394771212006-01-14T08:33:00.000-08:002006-01-14T08:33:00.000-08:00Thank-you, Ronni.

It's very similar to Bloglines, only instead of downloading their program you get an email.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317657106509563621.post-73030671508028231472006-01-15T08:51:00.000-08:002006-01-15T08:51:00.000-08:00Diana, I set up an account at Blogarithm.com yeste...Diana, I set up an account at Blogarithm.com yesterday to try it out.
