Change

I don't know why it took me so long to start using Google Reader (www.google.com/reader) It is an amazing tool that is free, highly efficient and easy to use. Ryan kept telling me to switch and I kept making excuses as to why I needed to waste time loading all of the blogsites that I frequent, only to find out that they (the authors) had not posted anything new. Now I just click on Google Reader and ... well, you need to sign up for yourself to get the full experience. Or wait 10 years like I did and miss out. Your choice.

... then you put Google Reader on you iGoogle homepage and you don't have to go anywhere to check your blogs!

It is great!

Welcome to the family. We are a very happy family.

And if you want, you can reveal that you are a mac-fanboy and download a skin for reader that will make your google reader match the rest of OS X.

Okay, I was almost with you Amber, until I read Ryan's comment and now I am confused all over again. But, I am intrigued, and so I will carve out time to set it up...hopefull in the next few days, not years! Thanks for the tip.

To me checking blogs is like walking to the mailbox and opening up the box in anticipation. OK, so I am often discourage becuase it's always bills. But occasionally I am surprised by a really great circular...

Okay, IGoogle is the way to go. Set it up as your homepage and then you add Google Reader as one of its components so when your homepage comes up you can automatically see whether or not you have any new items to read.

Hi Amber,
After reading your comment on my blog I went to google reader... but being the techno spaz that I am... not sure what exactly I actually set up... ??? Eventually I'll figure it out... but by then the blogs will I'm sure appear as holograms... either that or we'll all return to morris code... ah...always a trend or two behind the curve - Kari
