Google Reader
I wanted to share my new favorite thing about blogs for my blog community out there. It is surely old new to many of you.
I am technically challenged. I am so glad that my hubby and my brother in law are around to help me out. My friend Amy (La Villa Gringa) also has a husband who is more technical than her. She told me that he set it up so that she could read all of her blogs from one page. I vaguely knew that she was talking about subscribing to their RSS feed but when I had tried it before, I could never figure out where it went. Again, technically challenged. So, my sweet hubby helped me figure out how to set up Google Reader.
Google reader is so cool. Go to www.google.com/reader to set it up. Literally follow the directions. You add subscriptions to the blogs you read. Then instead of checking all your blogs each day, and then wasting time on the ones that have not been updated, you have all in one place all of the updated blogs. So I open the page and without navigating away can read all of my updates. Sooooo cool and a big time saver for those of us who like to follow a lot of blogs. For some reason some of my friends blogs will not subscribe (Chrys, Kane, Shannon) so I have to remember to go back and look at theirs on my own. Regardless, I thought I would pass the tip on and maybe it would help some of you out as well.
