There are several ways to combine multiple feeds into one and publish the aggregated feed.

In this post I am going to discuss two ways to do that and list out advantages and disadvantages associated with each.

The two very popular tools which allow you to aggregate feeds are:

• Yahoo Pipes 
• Feedburner Network

Here is a video which demonstrates how to combine multiple RSS feeds into one using Yahoo Pipes and then subscribe to the combined feed:

Feedburner Network allows you to create a network of blogs using the RSS feeds for those blogs. It is a very effective tool to create a blog group based on certain themes. This blog is part of two Feedburner networks: India Technology Bloggers and Blogaloreans. If you have a Feedburner account (if you don’t you can create it free), you can create a network or search for a network and join it:

Here is the FAQ page on Feedburner Networks for those interested.

Yahoo Pipes are useful if you have multiple feeds of your own and you just want to combine them and publish a single feed. Yahoo pipes allows you to make your feed available for various feed readers, subscribe by phone and email. The thing which is lacking is the lack of support for monetization and marketing tools to support you leverage your aggregated feed. These are standard with any Feedburner network.

Feedburner Network is best used when it bring together multiple bloggers around a central theme. It allows you to easily market/publicize your network feed using host of tools like Feedflare, chicklets, member badge etc.

You can always combine multiple feeds into one using Yahoo pipes and then create a feed or join a Feedburner network using that Yahoo pipes aggregated feed!

Let me know of other ways you have combined your feeds.

On September 25th, 2007, David Gainer of the Microsoft Excel group did a post acknowledging a Microsoft Excel 2007 math bug involving calculations of numbers around 65,535 and 65,536.

An example bug is: 77.1 * 850 for which Excel returned 100,000 instead of 65,535.

According to David, the issue was due to change in the Excel calculation logic in Office 2007. The bug affects Excel 2007 and Excel Services 2007.

The patch has been posted here.
