I also create folders in google reader, makes it so much easier. I have a “Daily” folder of feeds I read every day like status updates, daily downloads and other tech stuff, then a “Jewish” one, for Jewish news like VIN, Yeshiva World, Chaptzem etc. Then I have a folder for Blogs that I like to keep up to date with. Then another one for new blogs that I’m checking out. Then I have another folder for parenting and Mom related stuff.

I use feedly, a firefox extension, instead of google reader. It’s based on google reader and uses those feeds and keeps it synced. But it’s a more pleasant interface, it looks nicer, it’s easier to read, and to keep up to date with.

What’s google reader bookmarks?

Jientje, you see, I’ve got you in there, too?

I think you mean “folders”, not maps?

Could not live without it, but you have a good point there, putting them in maps like you do!

I haven’t tried it, but I have heard good things about it.

I haven’t explored Google Reader but your post has given me an incentive to do so after I finish this message. Thank you.

Reiza, I never got tags to work well for me. But maybe you will. It seemed to clutter up Google Reader.

I just discovered Google Bookmarks… I like this toy!

I adore Google Reader. I don’t know how I ever read blogs without it. In some ways, it makes my life much easier. In others, though, it helps keep me on the computer longer. Everything is so nicely organized in one place. It’s easy to plan to just check it out and then spend the next hour catching up.

I haven’t used tags, though and I didn’t know there were shortcuts, so I’ll need to check that out. Thanks.

Glad I gave you a tingle inside, Robin. I do enjoy your photos. Especially when you get “artsy” (there was one you took of a forest in NH that warmed my heart).

Oh, and I’m a GR fan too . Couldn’t live without it.

I’m in the “photos” section – that makes me feel all tingly inside . (Not that there would be many other logical choices, considering how little actual writing I seem to be doing these days LOL.)
