There's over 100 blogs for Eve Online, and maybe you'd like to add some comments on a few of them, but you're unsure which ones to subscribe to. And then there's the hassle of reading a post in Google Reader, clicking on the title to go to the website, clicking on Post A Comment, and then adding a comment. It's all such a huge hassle!
Not any more.
First, you have to be using Google Reader. Second, you have to be using Firefox or Firefox-based browser. This won't work in any other browser.
Step 1: Visit the Wandering Druid's blog and download the OPML file for all the Eve Bloggers. He's done all the hard work on this, so you may as well thank him while downloading it.

Step 2: Import the OPML file into Google Reader. It's already been set up with a tag for easy administration called 'EVE: Player Blogs'.
Step 3: If you're using Firefox, then add the Greasemonkey add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
Restart Firefox.
Step 4: Go here to install the 'Google Reader Preview' script:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9455
Restart Firefox again.
Summary: What this will do is add a small PREVIEW button at the bottom right of each of the blog posts that show up in your Google Reader.
When you click on this Preview button, the script loads the actual web page inside Google Reader - including the comments and the ability for you to post a comment of your own.
Clicking it again will close the Preview frame, returning you to the RSS feed.
This can allow you to keep up to date with any interesting conversations that might be occurring in any comments section, without having to open a new browser window or tab to go to the web page.
Enjoy.
