Bloglines

Just before we left for our vacation, I found out that bloglines will be closing.  I nearly died.  That site is fantastic and I'm really going to miss them.  It sure makes it easier to keep up with all the blogs you follow.  At least they made it easy to transfer your list over to Google Reader. 

If you haven't been using anything like bloglines and you follow a lot of blogs, you really should check out something like Google Reader (now that bloglines will be closing November 1st) - http://www.google.com/reader.  I follow way too many blogs, but you can get so many ideas that it is worth spending time in front of your computer to do so.  What it does is allow you to list all the blogs you follow.  Then it "bolds" any blogs that has new posts.  From there you simply click on that blog and voila, there's the new post.  You can also "star" any posts that you want to remember to go back to for reference.  One thing that bloglines did that google reader doesn't do, is display only the new posts and the ones you had saved.  I'm hoping that since more people are transferring over to google reader that they will modify their program to do this.  It sure is a nice feature.

So give Google Reader a try and please add my blog and Amy's blog (http://www.amysoto.blogspot.com/) to your list so you can see when we update - which we are both hoping to do more often.

Thanks.
