How would you like to get all of your blog content in one nice reader??? Wouldn't it be nice if you did not have to surf the web going from blog to blog to get the content that you would like to read. We think that you should have this ability as well as going to a blog--should you choose.
You should not have to leave your desktop to view any blog--should you choose not to. Yes, you should have this choice. For our feed we are recommending that you utilize FeedDemon. It is a free and safe RSS reader that also doubles as an internet browser.
We have noticed that pulling feeds with other readers does not give you the content experience we wish for you to have. Readers like Google Reader do not render out text format correctly because of a Google Blogger glitch. We have experienced vanishing text in certain portions of our blog when using readers. The difference with FeedDemon is that it allows you to highlight the vanishing portion of text so that it will display properly. This is a temporary workaround as we make an attempt to contact Google regarding their text rendering issues. Not only does FeedDemon do that--it allows you to scroll through any of the PDF documents embedded in any blog entry which we publish so that you are not short changed by using a feed method.
We would like for our readers to be able to access the entire content of our blog. We could utilize simple RSS and not grant our readers any access to the PDF and research documents contained in many blogs. We will not do this. Just because you are not on our blog does not mean that you should have to experience any less of a presentation with respect to the content and the quality of information provided if you utilize an RSS service.
Below is a simple help file that is very easy to understand regarding how to set up a simple feed using FeedDemon. This is a one time only thing; moreover, once this is set--forget it! You can subscribe to many different blogs and websites via RSS Feeds. This is a way to minimize the internet surfing you are doing to get the content you have grown to love. Please view the information below regarding configuring your feeds using FeedDemon:

Here is a transcript of the screenshot:
Feeds and Folders
A feed is a source of news items. For example, the RSS feed of the New York Times contains news items about the latest stories. Feeds are listed in the feed bar, which is the left panel in FeedDemon.
Folders are used to organize feeds into categories. For example, the "Entertainment" folder contains feeds related to music, TV and movies.
- To add a feed: Click the Subscribe toolbutton to display the subscription wizard. Next, enter the address (URL) of the feed and follow the instructions on the wizard. If you don't know the feed's address, enter the address of the web site and FeedDemon will attempt to auto-discover the feed.
- To add a folder: Select File > New Folder.
- To move a feed to another folder: Select Edit > Move Feed, or just drag-and-drop it to the desired folder.
- To remove a feed: Right-click the feed and choose Unsubscribe.

Step Two: If you are utilizing an RSS reader this means you are getting a feed version of my blog instead of a full version. This is a reasonable accommodation and it was not hard to do at all. So now those that do not prefer the design of the blog or the additional time it takes to load the document--you have another option.
