How do I sync my google reader likes with buzz?

Q. Google reader and buzz both have like buttons but they don't seem to interact by default. I'd like my likes on reader to show up in my buzz feed.

A. Linking it with buzz is one of numerous simple things that google reader can't do. Google reader is very limited and only updates every few hours for feeds that not many folks are following. It is not very customizable at all. All that I can say is "I'm sorry." Google is usually coming out with great stuff but not this time. I would try another rss reader unless you like one size fits all.

How to subscribe to non RSS pages on Google Reader?
Q. Hello, i am very fond of Google Reader. I wish to use in all website i enjoy. However a lot of them have problems to subscribe. Is there a way for me to subscribe to them via Google Reader? I know there are other ways, but i love the fact that Google Reader has all the stuff gathered in the same place.

Thanks in advance.

A. Assuming you have a Google account, go to http://www.google.com/reader to sign up for Google Reader. To subscribe to feeds, see (should work for most sites that don't have an RSS button) http://support.google.com/reader/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=69968&topic=12011&ctx=topic or click the orange RSS button if the site has one and choose Google Reader.

Is there any way to get rss feed to display on the toolbar?
Q. I know about rss readers like google reader, but is there any way to get a feed to display on the toolbar so i can just click it and go to the feed itself?

-I hate having to load up google reader, or other readers, or even hitting crtl+j, i was wondering if there was a way to have it on my toolbar in internet explorer.

A. you can get a free rss toolbar for internet explorer here
