I use google reader to keep up with blogs, and if your blog has no way to add you to my reader then I'm most likely not reading you. When I first began blogging, I didn't mind visiting blogs, making my daily rounds to see what others were up to. I didn't mind signing up for email updates. I don't do that anymore. Occasionally I'll visit a blog I haven't seen in a while, thinking to add it to my google reader, but I'll then realize no RSS feed exists. Or if it does, I can't find it. If your blog has no way for me to add you to my reader, I'm probably not reading your blog.
Do you use some type of reader to follow blogs? Or do you just drop in on your favorite blogs to see of anything new has been posted?
I've just never learned how to use an RSS feed. I see the term, and my eyes glaze over. But so many people do use it -- it must be worth it.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll learn how, sigh. There's some other new thing I need to learn too, but I can't remember what it was. . .
I definitely use Google Reader. Once upon a time, I used Bloglines.
ReplyDeleteI have a favourites list and check it when I can...used to be every day but not now I don't have as much time.
ReplyDeletelikari, i use igoogle, so it's easy to have everything on one page - email, google reader, links. but probably wouldn't be handy for typical email accounts. i went to nothing but web-based gmail after losing my address book for the second or third time. even though it was backed up.
ReplyDeletei have both you and bernita in my reader, but not jason. can't find the feed link, but will look again!
jason, found it! don't know how i missed it!
ReplyDeleteI use bloglines and you're in there, along with Jason and about 85 others. I have no idea if you've ever visited my blog, Anne. I used to have an invitation only blog back in the day, which is how I "know" Jason and how I found you. If you want to check it out, my blog now is: http://taktani.blogspot.com. I don't write often, so a reader is definitely the way to go with me.
ReplyDeleteOh sure, Anne. Couldn't find my feed, eh? :P
ReplyDelete(BTW, giving you a wave from over here, Kim.)
ReplyDeletekim, i do go to your blog, but i didn't have you in my reader. i do now!
ReplyDeletejason, hah!
