Don't worry about missing posts, go here:

http://www.activehead.com/dotnetweblogs

There is an RSS feed too. It contains a bunch of blogs outside of dotnetweblogs as well (actually, we've had the MS bloggers for a while now, so them coming to .net weblogs wasn't such a big deal for us :-)

What about making the mainfeed show a summary instead of the whole posting for each blog?

The stuff flies by too quickly now.

It would be nice to be able to look at snapshots of each day's posts: because I saw an interesting one on Monday, but I have no idea who wrote it. ;)


Thanks Jesse, I'll try that one.
Do you keep them by date?

I view the posts from the website not the rss feed. Im also in the wrong timezone and miss some posts.

How adding paging to the main list, so that I can go back a page or two to catch up in the morning ?

Use bloglines. It rocks.

Agreed, something definitely needs to be done with the main feed. I posted about this the other day, but others seem to have disagreed with me.

Indeed bloglines does rock (I missed a few days recently and returned to 208 new entries!).

What could be very useful is a server that could synchronise with your favourite aggregator. While your aggregator is offline that server would regularly poll your collection of feeds, then when your aggregator is online again it could synchronise with the server, using an OPML feed to ensure your list of feeds matches, and then grab all the updated RSS feeds.

While the other suggestions posted here are valid for weblogs.asp.net, what about other feeds? I'm sure the popularity of RSS will continue to increase, so there are sure to be more very frequently updated sites which will be syndicated.

I guess any of those sites could have someone maintain an archive as many newsgroups do (and of course http://www.activehead.com/dotnetweblogs has). That more-or-less defeats the purpose of subscribing to a feed though doesn't it?

Thank you very much for all the interesting solutions.

I think that the server solution that Mark has suggested could be very interesting, especially if it can also have a Web page where you can read and delete the posts when you're away from your PC without having to redownload them in your aggregator.

When I'm away, I check most of the blogs using the Web interface, but at home I've to filter the messages that I've already read.

Something that will get all the posts from the feeds in your blogroll, and that can be synchronized with a client side interface, so you can also using it offline.

Perhaps I'm dreaming... :-)
