Hi all. Sorry about the confusion with the blog(s). I explained the
\nreason for switching sites on DawgBlog, and this has also had the
\neffect of making our internal blog (“ButlerLib”) independent, rather
\nthan inside the other blog. But this one will still be the one where
\nour internal communications and announcements get posted.<\/p>\n
This means that you’ll either need to get used to checking two blogs or else you’ll need to use an aggregator<\/a>. One recommended aggregator is Bloglines<\/a>. Another free and easy one is Google<\/a>. Now you can have a “Personalized Home<\/a>” The one caveat: right now, our blogs are set up so that you must log in Scott<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi all.

\nAn aggregator collects RSS feeds and allows you to view them all from
\none webpage, making it unnecessary to visit multiple websites just to
\ncheck and see if anything new has been posted. You just visit your
\naggregator page, and if anything’s new on any of your sites, it tells
\nyou! This comes in very handy if you visit a variety of websites
\nregularly, whether they be blogs, news sites, or even library
\nlistservs. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
\nIt’s free and is easily configured to collect your various feeds. The
\nsites with new posts show up just like unread email messages, complete
\nwith the number of them.<\/p>\n
\npage via Google. Just click that link in the top right. You can add all
\nkinds of content, including your own custom sources. Just click on
\n“Create a Section” and paste the URL of the RSS feed you want to
\nsubscribe to. Google does the rest, listing the latest 3\/5\/9 posts from
\nthat site. It’s very easy to use and is worth a try. The end result
\nwith this one is your own personal Google page. It still has the Google
\nsearch interface at the top, but now it also has news headlines, blog
\nfeeds, etc., below it. A true all-in-one page.<\/p>\n
\nwith your Butler ID to get to them. I think this will prevent you from
\nadding these blogs to an aggregator. If I find a way to overcome this
\nobstacle, I’ll post a followup article here on ButlerLib.<\/p>\n
