#8 - RSS Feeds and Setup Bloglines

Yahoo sold Bloglines to MerchantCircle last year. At the present time, Bloglines seems to have a limited capability for the creation of a news feed blog site. It is only good for local news feed in various cities of the country. It would not accept an URL if the URL submitted for listing could not be located in the selected city. For example, I cannot submit the (URL) washingtonpost.com/blog for listing to any city (Baltimore, for example) other than Washington DC. I discovered that RSS news feed is available in MyYahoo!, Google reader, CNN, NPR, BBC, etc. One will find top news, business news, arts, music, culture, science, people and places....of any area of interest one can imagine. Examples of two URLS for RSS news feed are shown below:
