For all you compulsive blog readers out there, here is what I have done to make life a little more efficient:

  1. Go sign up for a Google Homepage.

  2. If you don't have a gmail account, have someone who does send you an invite and set one up.

  3. Set up a Google Reader account.

  4. Grab the RSS/Atom feed off of any of the blogs that support this and add them as subscriptions to your Google Reader.

  5. For any blogs that don't have RSS feeds, tell the blog owner to fix this, and then in the meantime create an account at FeedWhip and have them email any site changes on the blog to your gmail account. This also works for any blogs whose comments don't have feeds.

  6. Sign into your Google Homepage, click "Add Content", and add your Gmail account and Google Reader to your Google Homepage. You can also add your Google Calendar, and any news feeds like the BBC or Slashdot.



Voila! You now have a one stop shop for all your obsessive bloggage. BTW, everything listed above is 100% free.

UPDATE: Google Homepage now has a World Cup content module under the Sports secion. Alas, Germany beat Costa Rica today, but not before scoring two goals.
