Blog Reading 101--Use a Reader
Friends keep mentioning to me that they read blogs by running through a list of blogs that they have bookmarked. This requires them to visit each blog site independently, regardless of whether the blog contains new content. If this is you, you are WAY behind. You need to be using a reader device. Trust me on this, it's like when you got a remote control for your TV or buttons on your phone instead of the rotary dial. Life is just better with a reader.
Here is a video that explains Google Reader:
Download a reader and subscribe to this blog and any other blogs that you read, such as Ya'll Politics, Ipse Blogit, Jackson Jambalaya and NMC. There are thousands of blogs. Readers allow you to greatly expand the number of blogs that you can follow in a short period of time. Rather than visit each individual site, you go to your reader and read all the blogs that you subscribe to directly from your reader. Most importantly, the reader shows whether a blog has a new post, so you don't have to frequently visit sites that are not regularly updated.
I currently subscribe to over 30 blogs on my reader. The reader allows me to easily monitor new posts. Without the reader, there is no way that I could monitor all these sites. Try a reader. You'll like it.
