Cristobal,
    Do you use Firefox exclusively, or do you ever use IE with JAWS 10 and
specifically with RSS?Is there any problem with double links with RSS and IE
in JAWS 10?  What was better about Google Reader vs My Yahoo?  Was it an
accessibility thing?  
    I'm never dealt with RSS at all and wish to learn what people go through
as I am delving into the blogosphere and want to see what my audience will
see.  
Thanks again,
Kevin

Google Rreader works for me quite well. I used to use My Yahoo, but I feel
as though reader is better. Since Jaws 10, however, there's been an issue
with a double link appearing for each rss update in Firefox. Other then
that, it works fine with Jaws. You can skim through the various updates just
by pressing the h key. I've got over 190 feeds so this quick key is very
helpful.

Dear All,

    I am considering adding a blog with an RSS feed to my website.  I have
never used RSS as either a content purveyor or a recipient. while reading a
commercial blog last night, I noticed that the reader was given the option
of subscribing to this blog via any number of well known RSS services such
as Hostgator News and others.  Do any of you have any opinions on which of
these RSS readers is more or less accessible?  Is there an "Industry Leader"
among the general sighted population?  Do the blind as a group use something
other than the industry leader for accessibility reasons?  thanks for any
info.  

Best,

Kevin
