One possibility is to add a feed of someone's recent photos to your Google or Windows Live start page. That way you'll see if they have posted new photos when you open your browser. Of course you'd add your email and relevant news feeds to the start page as well :)

Read the link Barb gave you. Explore the Firefox help section, in your browser, on Feeds. Feeds are a way for people to keep up on your stuff! To be FOUND! They are so cool :)

Oh and don't browser with AOL's browser... bleh that's not the best :) Use FF2, I see you recently signed on with that one...

Duh, I completely missed Barbs post! Sorry. I don't use AOL for browsing anymore anyway. Mostly Firefox.
