I've never really liked feed readers. I have a routine that involves clicking down my list of bookmarks, and I like visiting actual websites. I find it really hard to get used to reading blogs as if they were emails. Happy to help, Ken.

I’ve never really liked feed readers. I have a routine that involves clicking down my list of bookmarks, and I like visiting actual websites. I find it really hard to get used to reading blogs as if they were emails.

I didn't note the non-RSS ones down as such. I just noted that most of those where I couldn't find feed seemed to be Blogspot blogs which had been around for quite a long time (and presumably were established before Blogger offered RSS). To provide a list I would have to go through all 150-odd blogs on my blogroll one by one. It took me almost a full day to do this to enter the Google Reader subscriptions, and I certainly don't have that sort of time to devote again. However I agree that there may be some blogs with non-obvious RSS feeds. Andrew Norton's is an example. Nevertheless, generally with Blogspot sites you can simply enter the ordinary site URL as the Google Reader subscription address, and that implements the feed. That's mostly what I did. Thus, if you are a Blogspot blogger, you might want to sign up for Google Reader and try to enter a subscription for your own blog using the ordinary site URL. If it displays a feed, then I've almost certainly subscribed your blog too. If it doesn't, I probably didn't. It wouldn’t be easy to do Robert. I didn’t note the non-RSS ones down as such.

I've added Andrew to my Google Reader, along with the IPA's <a href="http://chrisberg.org/" rel="nofollow">Chris Berg</a>, to whose blog Andrew refers in one of his posts. My moderate right grouping in Google Reader is starting to look fairly healthy again, after I culled it and the RWDBs to remove moribund blogs (some of the seemingly disappeared RWDB bloggers seem to post from time to time at A Western Heart).

It may be that someone can point to a feed that isn't obvious, and failing that I'm sure those bloggers will set up a feed if they know you're considering them for inclusion.
