Yes, Blogger does use atom instead of RSS, which is a pain.

Here's some possibilities (I haven't tried them):

http://www.2rss.com/software.php?page=atom2rss
Free online service. Concerns about being dependant on third party service. Have to open a new account for every atom pheed.

Grouper
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/grouper/features.php
Costs $25. Has free version but free version doesn't convert atom to RSS.

Also:
www.feedburner.com
I think will convert atom to RSS.

Problem: Google bought feedburner recently. I don't know about putting all your Blogger accounts together like this, making it easy for Google to say they are all related.

Assuming these all work...I'd use the free service until you've built enough Blogger blogs to know you're actually going to do it...Then I'd try the "Grouper" script.

Anyone have any experience with any of these resoureces, especially Grouper?

Again, I haven't tried any of these.
