I just started a Feedburner network for homeschooling blogs. If you would be interested in joining, please let me know and I will send you an invitation.
Essentially, this will pull all member feeds into one place. Here is the page for the Homeschooling Network, but at the moment, I am the only one there. Here is the Family Friendly Network so you can see what the page looks like when there is more than one member.
There are a number of advantages to this network, I believe. The page will allow interested readers to peruse a number of posts from the homeschooling community quickly and you can subscribe to the network's feed to have that delivered straight to your feed reader. You can also download all member feeds as an opml file if you desire.
When you accept the invitation, you will be asked if you are interested in hosting advertising in your feed, which is purely optional. That may be an advantage to some, and a non-issue for others.
Qualifications:
1) Your blog must be a "homeschooling blog." That does not mean that everything you write about has to be about homeschooling, but readers should be able to tell you homeschool.
2) Your blog must be family-friendly. That means no pornography or profanity.
That is all I can think of. I would like this network to be about promoting homeschooling, not necessarily any one view of homeschooling. Whether you homeschool for religious or secular reasons is not an issue.
All I need to know is that a) you are interested and b) your email address. Then I can send you an invitation and you can sign up.
If you do not have an account with FeedBurner, I can try to help you through setting one up. It really is pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions at all, please ask! Then you can stick this in your sidebar, if you want:

And, obviously, if you are interested, I would also appreciate any help promoting this. The more the network is known, the more it may be of use to people interested in homeschooling!
Take a look at Serious Learning's sidebar. You can put that together yourself through FeedBurner once you sign up, but I'll put something similar together and post the code for anyone interested when I get back from vacation (and finish moving to my new blog address).
And somewhere to go if you need help with all of this FeedBurner stuff.
