More futzing

Okay, I think I got something I like for the sidebar feeds. I first had them set up to directly importing my feeds labeled, say, 'science', or 'boston'. What I'm doing now is using two sets of labels in my RSS reader: one is applied directly to certain feeds, like Universal Hub's, and then when I see posts I like, I give them a second label that isn't automatically applied to anything. Anything with that label gets pushed back out as my own public feeds (which you can see by clicking any of the 'more' links in the sidebar), and the RSS widget is set to look for that.

It sounds more complicated than it is: really, I just took one direct chain, split it into two shorter chains, and stuck myself in the middle. Or more accurately, I did that to a handful of chains, since each set of links is its own feed.
