As I previously mentioned, I help to manage my business blog. I have noticed that my customers are very new to the Blogsphere and do not really know about or understand all the cool things that can make reading blogs easier.

Some have complained that their work ISPs block them from accessing certain pages. Also, they are not able to download programs on to their desktop.

One option for getting all of your blogs in one place is to use www.newsgator.com. Although the thoughts of “gator” — the bad spyware– come to mind, this helpful service can be a web-based news feed aggregator.
After a free sign up procedure, this service will allow you to keep track of your favorite blogs in one place.

To add a feed to Newsgator, click on the “newsgator Manager” tab. There you will see a link that says “add a feed.” If you click on that, then up pops a new set of tabs. If you click on “URL & Import,” you will be able to enter the web address of the blog you want to follow.

From there on out, you can simply go to newsgator.com, click on the online version and VOILA! All your favorite blog entries in one place.

Newsgator also has a cool option where you can save blog entry in a “my clippings” section. To save an blog entry, simply click on the icon that looks like a little floppy disk at the bottom of the entry. This will automatically place it in your “My Clippings” folder

As time allows I will continue to play with these news aggregator programs and post reviews here. I think for the time being, Newsgator provides a pretty easy program.
