I continue to have problems keeping up with LiveJournals on Bloglines. Some of them show up consistently; others seem to never show up at all. 

I’m contemplating wielding the power of my own LJ account to use the Friends feature to read LJs, but it sounds like it will  be a tedious process to create the list. Also, is there a way to setup filters and whatnot, so that I can have only a certain group of Friends listed on the page where I see updated posts from my Friends?
