consolidating blogs & RSS feeds

One can simply add links linking to different blogs when you have found a blog address you wish to link to, but if you want recent posts listed along with the blog, you need to do a bit more.

To consolidate the blogs and recent posts, you need to have the RSS feed for each blog.
A RSS feed basically enables your blog to run over to another blog in cyberspace and take any new posts, then listing the new posts in a different place, such as your own blog.

The RSS feed for blogger blogs is the blog's homepage followed by "atom.xml" (it's different from Livejournal's RSS feed, however)

So the RSS feed for this blog would be: http://jsger.blogspot.com/atom.xml

To link to others' blogs on your blog, go to the "Template" tab and choose the option: "Add a page element", then choose "add feed." Type the feed in, and then choose the title and how many posts from each feed you'd like to show at once.

other options:
Using Google services: google spreadsheets, can also share online journals, put all RSS feeds on Google & view all new blog entries on a single page. (consult Tim Coombs for more)
