I don't anticipate more comments, but I'll always accept more suggestions for people to ponder.

Not until when Tayler suggested Google Reader, I thought Google Reader is most EASIEST to manage. Google Reader will also appear in iGoogle account you create that you can even put everything on one page (news, email, reader, stocks, or whatsoever.)<BR/><BR/>Will keep eye on this post for any new comments to see if there's other Reader we should consider?Joey Baerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04528915900000044860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31280382.post-71853505106126517372008-07-19T19:20:00.000-07:002008-07-19T19:20:00.000-07:00About RSS, I use my Outlook (Email) RSS. I love it because I can control what I like to read or not and also blocking on those I don't want to read. They do give summary what first few sentences from Vlogs/Blogs' messages before you can open a link.dENNISbaconsadventures.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31280382.post-44158049868890664452008-07-19T09:31:00.000-07:002008-07-19T09:31:00.000-07:00MM, wow, I'm sorry you've had to endure all that. I'm impressed you're still out there saying your piece.<BR/><BR/>You've offered some great tips on how to deal with abusive commenters, and that might be worth putting in it's own post on your site for all of us to consider?<BR/><BR/>Roehm, I hope this whole post sent you the message I intended. If not, I'll make it clear. Comments such as the above will never be tolerated here. Focus on ideas, principles, actions, not on people.moihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10817584645055759394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31280382.post-60807315679674963532008-07-19T02:03:00.000-07:002008-07-19T02:03:00.000-07:00The solution can be easier than you think. If you know a commentator is abusive inform them they are on pre-mod, next abusive comment they are out full stop. <BR/><BR/>I have found this works very well, also, do NOT respond to them on other blogs either, because they feed on this too, blank them right out. Respond to others, never to them. I have a hit-list of 5 commentators for whom it is impossible they will ever be allowed to comment on my blog. I'd zap them for trying.<BR/><BR/>It is based on noting the very personal abuse they gave me, and in some cases where they posted pornographic (Homosexual), stuff to my blog and launched lengthy tirades of swearing and personal attack.<BR/><BR/>It was quite an eye-opener to discover these people were from the deaf community, you wouldn't think it. I've had all this, and spoof blogs set up in my name but not by me, comments to other people's blogs also in my name but not by me also, that made a lot of trouble because they contained abuse of others, and I got the feedback from that, there are some sick people out there.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't hesitate to disagree with a view if I felt that way, I do try to not attach personal attack to it, these people force censorship on us, since their aim is solely, to destroy. I would urge people to check 'comments' and ensure they ARE, from whom they say they are....<BR/><BR/>I can tell very much, simply by the tone now, who it is.... Deaf.read can zero out blogs of abuse easily, but comments are another way of carrying it on, so it is down to each of us to check and re-check comments, taylor can't do that.MMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06689615164654187617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31280382.post-31620239650318031312008-07-18T20:18:00.000-07:002008-07-18T20:18:00.000-07:00Thanks, Tayler!

It may need updating, but should work all the same.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.deafread.com/rsshelp/" REL="nofollow">"How to read DeafRead in a RSS Reader"</A><BR/><BR/>BTW, my RSS reader is Google Reader.

I haven't found one I like the best but I am using Bloglines right now. (that's how I found your new posting :))<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to see what others have to say. If I find something I like, I will share it here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Joey Baerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04528915900000044860noreply@blogger.com
