Unintentionally, but they hide them pretty well. First, people actually need to turn the feed <i>on</i>. So some of the blogs actually do not have feeds. The feeds that do exist are usually hidden in the webpage itself, so that programs can find the feeds. If you enter the URL of the blog into a feed reader, <i>sometimes</i> it will recognize the feed. You'll also notice that the feeds generally have a common format. If you can figure out the feed for a few, you can probably guess at the others. Also, with Blogger (blogspot) there are feeds in more than one format, such as atom or rss. Hope that helps!

I'm interested in two blogs on there, but don't see anyway of getting a feed from there. Is that accurate? Alan Hey Jim,
