I stumbled upon a great idea yesterday. Lensmaster Extraordinaire and Giant Squid AND Squid Angel bdkz wrote a post at Squidu a couple of days ago about a new lens of hers.

It lets me subscribe to loads of great blogs without having to manually check back every day for update. An RSS Reader is like an inbox for the web. Pulling in the content you want from your favourite blogs. I talk about RSS quite a bit here, so if you don’t know what it is, check here: www.squidoo.com/rss-explained If...
