Keeping up with Blogs

By Jason

If your still visiting blogs one by one with a web browser, there are many other ways to keep up to date with blogs, much more quickly and easily.

1. Blog/News Reader programme: this is a programme, that you open that goes to all your blogs and gets the latest posts and lets you quickly click through them to read.

2. Online Blog/Newss Reader: Similar to no.1 above, but instead you go to a web site, that collects all your blogs/news feeds in one place.

For overview on programmes and sites that will do this for you go here.

3. Web Browser RSS feeds: You use bookmarks in your web browser with RSS/News feeds. Safari on the Mac, and Firefox offer support for RSS/News feeds from blogs.

I have switched to bloglines to review all the blogs I scan, about 200, and it takes me a few minutes every morning to do so. If I was to visit all the sites one by one, I’d never do it.

    Good afternoon Jason,

    I thought you might also like to know about our little gadget that lets you keep track of blogs and any site that has RSS – it’s less intense than a news reader and lets people keep up-to-date while they do other things.

    I hope it’s ok to plug it here! We call it Touchstone and you can find out more at http://www.touchstonegadget.com.

    Hope you like it!
