Greetings. I have Firefox as my web browser and it is SO easy setting up RSS feeds through Firefox and their Sage Reader. I have signed up for the following feeds: Reading Rants (a teen book site), Read Roger (the editor of Horn Book), Salon.com (for news), Technorati (why not), Book Lust (Nancy Pearl’s site), and …drum roll…The Boston Red Sox for news and updates. I will now be spending each and every day reading my feeds!!

jtolassi,
Thanks for letting me know. Apparently Feedster died in December.
