It works with Mozilla and uses Java, so it will work in any OS, and it claims to render most major news sites, even if they don’t have an RSS feed. It also caches full articles for offline reading. We might have to give that a try on the laptop to see how well it works.

Picked up from Dave, is Microsoft getting into the Blog-tool business? Anyone know more about this “Community Starter Kit”?

Resetting the router worked for the moment, but by the time I got home the connection was pretty much kaput again. Figuring it was RoadRunner and…
