Well, as I'm sure I've said before, I've found nothing better than the 
combination of Bloglines and Firefox.  Namely, Bloglines with the 
Firefox extensions of Livelines and Bloglines Notifier.

This way I don't have to depend on my own web server to serve a page I 
build, rather all I need is a web browser.  Of course, I currently 
have..let's see...751 feeds.  Eep.  Oh well, Bloglines handles it just 
fine.  And the former Jeeves folks have been doing quite well keeping 
its uptime going.
