Not that I've found. I just click "Reader" each time.

So how do you get Firefox/Google Reader to stop asking if you want it on your igoogle page or in reader? There's no default button that I could find.

Is there one?

For those interesting, I did a new article as a more
in-depth answer to that previous comment:

It's not *just* google reader. What you do is use a site
like, say, http://google.com/blogsearch to search blogs for
a specific phrase you care about. Say "Leo". On the results
page for that search will be an RSS feed that you can
subscribe to for those search results. Subscribe to THAT
feed in Google Reader, and each time the results change,
the updates show in the Reader.

Google Blog Search is one example of a service that provides
results in RSS. Others include Technorati, Windows Live
Search, Google News and others.

But that's the key: find a search or news update tool that
provides results in RSS, and then subscribe to that RSS feed
in Google Reader.

"For example I regularly use RSS feeds to keep abreast of new mentions of my name, or my wife's business on the internet." I started using Google Reader to try and do this for myself, but haven't figured out how, can you give more explicit instructions? Thanks!

I prefer the Bloglines reader to Google Reader at this time. Google seems too busy and Bloglines is still a cleaner interface. May be too tech-y for someone new to RSS, and it requires no software on your PC either.
