I’d like to also take this time to introduce all of you to a thing called RSS (Really Simple Syndication). Essentially you can get a free RSS Reader which every so often (ie: hourly) checks a bunch of news feeds (ie: each one of the blogs you read) and alerts you when there are updates.

It’s kinda (well totally) geeky, but it’s slick and can save bunches of time.

Oh, and for those curious enough to actually try, the RSS URL for Xanga sites is for example http://www.xanga.com/rss.aspx?user=froehle, obviously replacing “froehle” with the username of whoever you want.
