    Not many people are familiar with Google's simple and easy to use RSS Reader. You can add nearly any site with posting capabilities. Think of subscribing to a post on ForgeHub, but then think of subscribing to ForgeHub altogether! Sound weird?

    If you are not sure what Google Reader is all about, I made a simple and easy to follow tutorial on how to get started below. Be sure you have a Google account before starting. (Creating one is free and easy!)

    This is basic overview of Google Reader.

    Here is where you can add subscriptions to sites such as ForgeHub and many other forums/blogs.

    This changes how you view the items displayed from your subscriptions. You have "Expanded" and "List' view.

    If this looks like a useless tool to you, then think again. If you view various websites such as blogs and forums daily, this site can easily save you time by putting it all together and allowing you to sift through unnecessary spam.

    I hope you all will use this tool and enjoy it as much as I do.

    I use Google Reader occasionally, but I don't really have that many RSS feeds to look at...and by the way, you may want to blur-out or remove your e-mail address from the screenies.
