Add feed for OneFeed added

I've added a link in the left sidebar to add the Cyclelicio.us feed to the new OneFeed blog reader application. This AJAX application is another web-based blog aggregator sort of like Bloglines and Google Reader. There are still some bugs to work out -- for example, when I tried to add CycleDog's feed, I got an error.

In case you're wondering what all this talk about feeds is about, it's a way to read all of your blogs without actually visiting the individual websites. All of the new content is automatically updated in the feed reader. It's a tremendous time saver if you follow more than one or two blogs.

In his mention of OneFeed, Steve Rubel talks about the possibility of these web-based readers wrapping their ads around other people's content. I've long wondered why Bloglines and Google Reader doesn't already do that.

Oh, if you have a blog with the big list of subscribe buttons, here's the link code. Because OneFeed is still a work in progress, there are no guarantees this will work beyond the immediate future. Be sure to remove spaces and newlines.
