Thanks to my little brother I am in Blog Heaven. I have to admit, I haven't always been a fan of reading blogs--even of people I know and love. I just thought it took up time (a scarce commodity) and at times wasn't all that interesting. The past year I have been enjoying it more, especially since I've started my own blog. So now I am more interested in reading YOUR blogs, but the time issue is still there. Do I need to check in every day? every week? I don't know.
Brandon kept saying he used Google Reader to check blogs and other sites and I didn't really pay too much attention until last week. So I check out Google Reader and it is really fun. You can add numerous websites (I have mostly blogs) and even categorize them into folders. Then it works kind of like email. When new content is published on the site a (1) appears next to the site name and you just click on the name and can instantly read the added content in the same window! You never actually visit the site. If you want to visit the site to add a comment, etc you can click on the title of the post. Check it out and tell me if you are in Blog Heaven as well!
That sounds so cool! I need to do this because it would make keeping up with my blog friends so much more efficient. Thanks for the info. The countdown is on for your parents to come home! I bet you can't wait. Where has the time gone?? It seems like just yesterday you were sitting in church WAITING to have baby #2 and now a time warp has brought us to the year 2008! Annie
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on Google Reader...I too was having a hard time keeping up, or else I would look at people's blogs too frequently and running up their site counter, but this has helped me out!
