My tip for blog reading

I'm guessing that a few of you may be new to reading blogs and keeping up with them.  I really don't know, but I wanted to share the most helpful thing that I've discovered about making them easier to keep up with and is also a HUGE time saver.  I'm sure some of you already know about it, but I just discovered it a little over a year ago and think it's awesome!

It's called Google Reader and it looks like this:

All you do is open a Google account if you don't already have one.  Then just start subscribing to the blogs that you read.  There is usually an orange icon with curved lines on it that say "subscribe" on most blogs.  You just click it and it goes to Reader.  Then you can organize the blogs by topic - I have topics like friends/family, crafty, home decor, photography, food, scrapbooking, inspirational, etc.  You can organize however you want, but the awesome thing is that all of the blogs that you read or follow (whether it's 2, 20 or 200) are all in one place!!!  What a time saver this has been for me.  I only read the posts that look interesting to me and do not have to actually go to all the different websites (unless I want to comment, watch a video, etc.)

Can I say again how much I love it?!
