On top of that I’m finding while using bloglines is great for the most part, I find myself desiring a way of rating feeds.

I do, too. Not necessarily because I'm into ranking people and/or content, but because there are just so many hours in the day, and I have to make my time count. So with my A-list, I can spend more time reading stuff that I'm really interested in, and less time looking for it.

I am currently compiling an "A list" of blogs that I check throughout the day. However, for a few years now, there are websites that I check for updates as soon as I wake up in the morning. The bad news is, a lot of these sites don't update very frequently at all - and they are high traffic sites. Even though I am still pretty new to the blogging world, I learn a lot just by reading other blogs and seeing what other people are doing. For example, I try to update my blog at least once a day just to keep any regular readers (if I have regulars yet) happy.
