Thing 8

Another google feature that is good. I think I like iGoogle better than Google Reader. What I did like about Google Reader was no adds and ease of switching catagories. I think at first this will take more time to set up and only get the feed you want, but after you clean house you'll have what you really want.

Again I'm not a libraian, but as a teacher you could have a folder with feeds from student blogs or as a mother have a folder with your children's blogs. I guess, I'm not really sure.
