Usually folks like me who run Linux don't get to use the hottest new software, but in this case we do. Akregator is a RSS aggregator that's become a tool I use as much as a browser. So if you already use Linux, I recommend it (but I don't imagine anyone will make the switch just for one program).

Bloglines is a definite godsend. It in itself can also be a great organiser – I have all of the feeds I follow filed under the ‘type’ of blog that it is. So if I’m particularly looking for info on one topic (say, jewellery), I just go to that folder and look through those blogs rather than trying to wade through everything.

Just started using Bloglines and while I do appreciate your words, I’m still grateful that I cut down the time I spend with the 93 blogs on my list. This is a darn sight better than clicking on each link, hoping for new content.

If you’re open to suggestions, I’d like to read more ideas about building relationships. I’m wary of sending e-mails because I understand their POV that they don’t need *another* correspondent in their life, so what’s acceptible behavior and what’s not?

wise words Andy – scanning is the way most of us read online – headings, sub headings, opening statements etc are so important

I started my new blog one week ago. Worked hard, finally got tired, came here read many of your posts. They all inspired me. Among them l I like the “comments” and “relationships” the most.
They are the very reasons why blogging can be both fun and profitable, I think.

With tracking that many feeds, it proves how important titles and excerpts (or the first few words / paragraph) are for people who scan to include content in their own blog. It just isn’t possible to read every post, and so quality writing could go unnoticed if the title isn’t quite right.

I liken it a bit to sending your resume to an employer who has received 500+ such documents. They can’t read every one, something must make you stand out – but then, after that, you must have the content to back it up.

Gimmicks are OK to grab some attention, but content has to follow.

I get frustrated when some big job or unforeseen obstacle comes along and I can’t spend as much time blogging. I try to stay positive – it could be something really unique to blog about.

I don’t envy you tracking that many RSS feeds. I also use Bloglines, it’s not perfect but it’s the best free tool out there.Breaking your work down into bitesize chunks is good advice I do try to follow, although it can be tedious having to plan what you are ment to be doing.
