As the de facto blogging geek in the family, I’m keeping an eye on my blog and three other (mostly inactive) blogs:

• My blog
• Friends of Manila Zoo
• The Business of Photography
• Adphoto Pressroom

I need to monitor comments that slipped through spam filtering, WordPress version updates, and so on. Fortunately, I don’t have to regularly come up with content for all four!

I wanted to make it easier to check comments on multiple sites. Instead of checking each site regularly or configuring them to send me e-mail (too much e-mail!), I used Yahoo Pipes to combine the blog comment feeds from each site into one main feed. Then I added that feed to iGoogle, along with gadgets for weather, calendar, and mail. Tada! Dashboard.

Do you manage multiple WordPress blogs? How do you stay on top of them?
