If you are not familiar with RSS feeds/live bookmarks, have a look at Paul Staminous Guide (via LifeHacker) or a guide by BBC.

These feeds save a lot of time. You don’t have to open sites you visit regurlarly, to see if they have a new posts, as you can see the latests post titles as bookmarks in your browser.
You can find my feed address http://sampsa.wordpress.com/feed/ in the sidebar.
