Switching my RSS feed reader...
Category Blogging
I've been using Awasu for awhile now, and it's been adequate for the job. The only thing I haven't liked is that it doesn't handle Atom feeds, and it seems to be overly picky on RSS formatting. It doesn't take much to cause the feed not to validate and load.
I've seen reference to SharpReader over the last couple of days by a few bloggers, so I decided to try it out. So far, I like what I see. The layout is very clean, the nested comments rock, and it seems to be very responsive. I've transferred over a number of feeds from Awasu to give it a trial run, and I was also able to get a few sites that Awasu wouldn't load to work just fine on the new software. If all goes well, I may transfer the rest of the stuff over by the weekend...

Johan: Thanks for the tip. For my particular situation, having a client-based reader probably works best. I'm still not enamored with the online blog reader model. Of course, maybe I'll make the change of readers an annual event.
