The 100+ Blogs That I Follow

May 29, 2010 in Other Stuff with 12 Comments

It’s been some time since I did a post on Google Reader. If you’re not using Google Reader, you need to try it out. Don’t worry…it’s FREE.

If you read several blogs or news websites daily and you’re not using Google Reader you’re wasting time. Either you clutter your email inbox with lots of unnecessary e-newsletter subscriptions, or you’re surfing from blog to blog trying to keep up. There’s a better way.

Here’s what Google Reader offers:
  • It constantly checks news sites and your favorite blogs for new content.
  • It brings all the content to one place.
  • It recommends new content based on your reading habits.
  • It creates an “easy button” for you to share content with friends.
  • It goes with you everywhere, so you can read content on any computer or your phone.

After signing up for Google Reader, your next step is to begin subscribing to content, like blogs or news websites. Ever wondered what that icon with the white radio wave-like symbol was all about? That’s an indication that the site you are visiting has an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed available. If you have signed up to use Google Reader, you can just click on that button anywhere on the Web and you’ll have the opportunity to subscribe to the content. It’s simple…really simple.

Now, are you ready to give it a test-drive? Here are the two easy steps to get started.

  1. Register for a Google Reader account.
  2. Come back to my site and click the “RSS” link.

That’s it. Now you know why they call it “really simple syndication.” The best part is, you can subscribe to many websites using your same Google Reader account. Just in case you’re curious, here are the sites I’m currently following:

Hope you enjoy the new, free tool. Let me know what you think.

    Thanks for blogging about using a Reader Tony. You put it better than I’d be able to. Thank you also for posting what all blogs you’re subscribed to, found some new ones to start reading from your list. Now gotta go organize Google Reader again!

    Thanks for the mention Tony. You also pointed me to some blogs I was not familiar with, so I’m adding to my Google Reader.

    I love Google Reader too. Just got a Kindle for my birthday and already have it pulling my Google Reader account in!

    (Now off to see what’s in your list that I don’t follow….)

    Thanks! :)

    Like you need another one, lol, but I would highly suggest bradpowellonline.com. He’s the Sr. Pastor of Northridge Church in Plymouth, MI.

    That’s quite a few blogs. Glad you don’t read mine. Glad you read Jen’s and not mine. She’s pretty cool.

    Always love to see what you are reading! Your blog was the first one I ever subscribed to… how’s that for nostalgia?
