Well, I'd follow your blog, for one. But http://planet.squeak.org/ is pretty
darn cool: start your own blog, and have the planet aggregate it.

Or there's Yahoo! Pipes, described by Bill Clementson here:

The concept's the same, at any rate: instead of a single community blog,
there's a single blog aggregator, fed by multiple personal blogs.
