Tip: SharpReader puts all blogs on one screen

Now I can scan all the class blogs as easily as checking my email. I can see immediately when someone has added a new entry that I haven't read yet. For me, SharpReader was painless to install and set up, but I already had the .Net framework installed.

If you don't want to bother installing the .Net framework, you can simply take Peter C's advice and automatically add RSS feeds into your Firefox browser. (If you already use another browser, such as Explorer, it's OK to install the Firefox browser, as well. I have several browsers installed. They each have advantages and drawbacks.)
