Bloglines Upgrade
Bloglines updated their Web-based RSS reader last week. I have just a few thoughts about it. Overall it feels busier and could be more confusing for a newbie than the previous version.
Plusses:
- Basic blog
- Sorting of feeds (A-Z, Z-A, etc.)
- It remains free!
I do have a couple of wishes though:
- Ability to control the thinkness of the separation line. Being as small as it is it stays out of the way but is more dificult to grab than in the previous version.
- Having more options in the blog section, such as edit post time, comments, and ability to create drafts.
- Ability to directly edit the rss feed URL without having to resubscribe when the URL changes.
I would even be willing to pay (up to $20-$25 one time, or about $5/yr.) if it had blogging features on par with Blogger.
