As a demo of some of the things you can do with RSS aggregation, here is an online RSS reader which combines the library blogs in different ways. (click the categories link on the left to see what I mean)

You can use your RSS readers to aggregate content into your own structures.

You may also notice I’ve enabled RSS feeds on all sorts of things – when you browse a category, there is the option to subscribe just to posts in that category. There is also the ability to subscribe to a search so that if new posts turn up with your keywords, they will update in the RSS reader (google news has this feature which is handy for following certain topics in the news).

I’ve also moved the default feeds for posts and comments to a more obvious place in the side menu. Subscribing to the posts feed just gives you a feed of each post as it appears. Subscribing to the comments feed lets you keep an eye on comments on the blogs.
