Is there an easy way to link all these blogs together for easy reference?

Until I started my blog a couple days back I rarely ever read one unless I stumbled across it. Now I would like to check them periodically. Can a feed reader be used on them?

Yes, there are a couple of options. Since you have a Blogger blog, you can go to your dashboard, find where it says "reading list" and click on "blogs I'm following". Then you will be able to click on the "add" link and copy and paste any blog urls that you want to follow. You will then have a feed of recent articles from the blogs. You can also click on a link to view them in Google Reader. Or can just use Google reader www.google.com/reader

Is there any advantage of a blog over a website? Doesn't a website ensure greater hits on searching?

"Is there any advantage of a blog over a website? Doesn't a website ensure greater hits on searching?"

I'll answer this the best I can. I don't actually have any nonblog websites, so others may want to add to this.

Depending on your needs, a blog can have certain advantages. On a platform like Blogger, a blog is free and can be set up in just a few minutes. I don't believe that a more traditional website ensures more hits with the search engines. It has more to do with how it is set up and optimised for search engine traffic. Many blogs don't do well with search engines because they may not have many or any outgoing and incoming links and often have long rambling posts on random topics. Such a blog could still be popular, it just probably just won't get much traffic from search engines.

Blogs can be very search engine friendly. They can be updated easily without messing with any code. Search engines like frequent updates and this can be a big disadvantage for static websites. They invite comments, which can be viewed as an update that you don't have to provide yourself. Blogs work well with short keyword rich posts that can do very well with searches, especially if they are on an obscure topic or have keywords that aren't used frequently. Blogs are also more likely to get repeat visitors, especially if they offer feeds or some kind of following feature. A lot of traditional websites are now adding an associated blog to take advantage of these advantages. Or think about Freeminds.org that now has several blogs on its site.
