Everything you need to know about using the Sports Aggregator sites in less than 5 minutes
The Home page
The main list on the front page, AKA Our List, is designed to provide a good sense of what's currently going on with the team just by scrolling down a single page.
We really want the front page to be a good mix of local coverage (newspapers, Sportsnet/TSN, other beat-writers), columns, blog posts, rumours, reactions, and updates. In order to show you a good mix from a variety of sources (Sportsnet, Yahoo, ESPN etc.), and types of sources (newspapers, blogs, national media, podcasts etc.), while providing a one-page snapshot, we limit/filter certain content on the home page only.
For more information see our Help article The Home Page & Rule-based Curation.

Blog Tracker & Podcast Tracker
We really love blogs and podcasts. We actually crawl every Toronto-team-specific blog and pod that we have found, ever.
The Blue Jays Blog Tracker has tracked well over 100 blogs since it's inception. This is an excellent place to find some blogs or podcasts that may not be on your radar, yet.
