RSS feeds are the way to go- even for this weblog.
My first recommendation would be Feedreader . Simple and intuitive.
If that doesn’t click, perhaps you can try Sage . It is a Firefox extension, and easy to integrate. To try Sage, open Firefox, Chose TOOLS -> EXTENSIONS -> GET MORE EXTENSIONS. Searching and installing Sage is just a few clicks away. I don’t like Sage as much as Feedreader, but I haven’t found a linux RSS reader that I like yet.
