RSS lives up to its name

Setting up my bloglines account was easy, getting it to pick feeds I was actually interested in was a whole 'nother story. Bookworm was one of the quick picks I selected and yet 90% of the subscriptions it picked for me were book related. I just don't have the time to read about what other people like to read. So I ended up deleting a bunch of feeds and just adding websites I visit. While doing this I realized my web browser has a RSS button to detect feeds on a page, how handy.

The main thing I like about newsreaders is the consolidation factor. When I have too many open tabs or browser windows I get frustrated trying to go back and forth between them. Stop the madness I say and with RSS I can. I doubt anyone will be enthralled with my feed picks, they are pretty generic, but here is my url nonetheless. http://www.bloglines.com/public/j-panther

I actually thought that my blog would be smart enough to recognize and insert the link automatically. I guess I've been spoiled by my email which does it without me doing any of the work. Ummm not to sound like a newbie but how do you make it link??
