If you are one of those people that just love to read blogs but don't like your e-mail filling up with blog post announcements, you should consider using Google Reader.
First of all it's FREE! Second - it's easy!
Google Reader can host a list of your blogs that you like to frequent.
When a blog is updated the name is highlighted in bold. Then you simply
click on the blog name and you can read the blog update.
When you find a new blog that you like, it's as easy as clicking the
"Add Subscription" button and putting in the blog's name or web address. The
new blog gets added to your list of blogs.
It's so much easier than receiving so many emails each day.
I think you will love it!!! It's very easy to set up.
To check it out, go to the Google home page seen here: http://www.google.com/
Click on the pull down word 'more' & then click on 'Reader'.
You just type in the name of the blog you want (like 'flowerbug's inkspot") to the 'add subscription' area & once confirmed, you'll receive all blog updates in your own Reader list. Bookmark your Reader page & you've got your own 'Blog List' to look at anytime you'd like!
I just discovered what this was all about sometime last month. It is the greatest and easiest way to follow blogs. Think I wasted more time checking those I had bookmarked just to see if they had any updates. Not any more. Totally agree that Google Reader is awesome and highly recommend it!
