Comments on: RSS the changer! http://eoinpurcellsblog.com/2006/07/12/rss-the-changer/ It's that simple -- and that hard. And that inescapable.

I use the inbuilt sidebar widgets that wordpress provides for the recent comments and recent posts.
For the popular comments I simply check my stats regularly and write links into a text widget and call it whatever i want. its a slow process and I am fairly sure if I knew more I could do it a hell of a lot easier but thats what I am doing.

If I am not clear send me an e-mail and I can send you some more detailed descriptions!

What plugins are you using for recent comments and popular posts and recent posts? Or is this built into your template? (Or do you do this manually?!?) I’d like to do these lists, but don’t know where to start.

It’s lightweight and you download it to your desktop which is ideal from my point of view. That way I treat it like e-mail and check it when I want to and have time. If it was an online service I would be checking it whenever I was online, which is always when I am working.

It also supports pretty much every feed type there is.

The only hassle is actually gettng the feed link. I have generally just copied the link and pasted it into the new feed line which has worked very well.

You can download it here:

I really dislike all the online readers except google reader I don’t use it though as it is slow!

And now, if I could just choose among the many aggregators. Any tips?

I love feeds. They help me so much! My blogroll is only a portion of the feeds I read daily so sucking up the feeds into an aggregator and scanning it for items that I like the look of is really useful. In general I will leap to the site from the feed though so in many ways it’s a filter more than a reader.

I like seeing the whole site at once, not an excerpt. And so I just click through my blogroll once a day or so and go directly to what’s new.
