Reading Blogs on the Sly

Given the subject matter of this blog, I suspect that some of my readers are reluctant to keep a bookmark for it. For those who would like to keep their blog hidden, you might want to take a look at Google Labs' Reader application.

It is a feed reader that I'm finding very useful for tracking updates to my ever growing reading list.

If you're new to Atom and RSS feeds, here's are some tips. The URLs for Atom feeds on Blogger hosted on blogspot.com are of the form:

http://blogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Wordpress blog feeds look like this:

http://blogname.wordpress.com/feed

If nothing else works, look for a feed icon on the blog's homepage or try something like:

http://bloghost/rss.xml
