Metablogs made easy

Somebody, who will remain nameless yet linked, insisted that I post more frequently. Mostly since I am brimming ideas and opinions that only seem to come out in meetings with lots of coffee.

If you want to create a Metablog, one blog or RSS feed from many, one way to do this is to use a Google Reader account. Reader is a Google too which aggregates (collects) all your blogs and feeds into one place. Once you have added a few, you can place them in folders with the Manage Subscriptions tool, which adds tags to each blog. For example, all of your library blogs would be tagged "library". You can share these folders as a single RSS feed like the one I have created for Science Libraries. In this way you are "mashing up" content in a way that is useful to a particular audience or for a particular purpose.

More once I figure out how to aggregate blog entries with a common tag from multiple blog platforms.
