I use Bloglines — a lot.

But whenever I'm on a wireless network, that isn't secured or encrypted I refuse to sign in to services that doesn't have a secure login (with https:// in the address bar), since everything transmitted unencrypted via a wireless network may be visible to anyone else on the network.

This means, that I can't sign in to Bloglines as much as I want — especially when I'm currently without internet at home. The result: 7461 unread items.

The login for Gmail is secure, so why not Bloglines?

   You can use bloglines over https…. just go to https://www.bloglines.com/

   We never promoted it due to the mixed content warnings that most pages will trigger (ie, images in a blog post you read will be non-secure); But it should pretty much work everywhere.
