I have to tell you that my favorite invention (besides restaurants) is Bloglines!! I am not kidding - I used to have to click on every link on my blog and now I just put all the web addresses in Bloglines and it tells me when any of my favorite bloggers make a new post - oh yes, and the other best part??? If I find a new blog I want to follow, I just click on one button on my desktop and it saves it to my favorites in Bloglines. Hey, an added bonus, who wouldn't want a little button that tells you how many blogs you get to go read today!!! So if you aren't on the RSS bandwagon - it's easy and it's free AND it saves you time!!! Just have to put a shameless plug in for this lifesaver!!! Now, if only they'd pay me to say these things!!

I am going to have to check into this. Thanks for the heads up. I spend so much time clicking on every blog on my list. It will be nice to be notified if someone has posted something new. Thanks!!!
Adele - I am glad you hadn't heard of it already - I was guessing everyone would have already!! I LOVE it - I used to click on everybody gazillions of times each day and now I just know when you update!! It's handy!!
Ha ha, I just clicked on you through my bloglines!!
I know, I love it too. I can't believe it took me so long to figure out how easy it can be!
I second that!!!
Yep, I know I am one of the last ones to get on board...
guess I'll have to join now!
Ok.....so why don't you come here and get it all set up for me? lol
Hey...clicked on your bold print in my bloglines and here I am. I do have too many feeds (and some of them probably don't even blog anymore) I'll tell you how many I have if you will tell me your number...
I third that! I LOVE Bloglines too! It's the best- saves a ton of time, but I can keep up!
I love it too.... I no longer have to stalk my favorite blogs... lol
Ok Lala - I'm coming clean - you know, part of addiction is admitting it!!! I have 297 BUT before you choke on your coffee, 115 are book blogs - I claim they are for my job!!! Now you have to come clean too!
OK...as promised .. I have 163. Like I said, some of them are no longer active but I don't feel like going through them and figuring it out.
Also, in my defense, I follow China AND Vietnam blogs...ahd a few Taiwan (no telling where #3 will be from)
I haven't heard of this but I am signing up. I am so new to this blog stuff... I need all the help I can get.
Ok Lala – you make me feel better!!!! My husband thinks I’m a wacko!!!! I say I just have lots of friends!!!
Bloglines are THE BEST.
Okay so I am lost. Where do you find the bloglines? This sounds much easier then clicking around to see who has updated there blogs.
OH.MY.WORD. No wonder I haven't heard from you by email lately! I know you hate the heat so your are blogging like a crazy woman!
I totally agree, BLOGLINES is the greatest! Made my blog-lurking life a lot easier!
Too bad my computer is broken and I can't post my own blogs right now. :o(
Smiles! :o)
Nikki - who will soon be up and running with a new laptop!!
I'm headed over NOW to check it out. I knew there had to be an easier way! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. That would save me alot of time.
LOVE bloglines! I just started using it a few weeks ago. I have seriously cut back on my blogging time but I don't miss a thing in the blogs I follow!
I am going to have to try this out. Does Border's pay you to have the book lionks? If so that would be a great way to make a little cash. ;)
I knew that's how you found my posts so fast! I think I'll try that cause I hate scrolling through all my favorites only to find that several didn't post that day.
thanks for the tip!
Thanks Becky for the info!! I'm excited to get this set up and save some time ... actually I'll just add some more blogs to read! You totally got me addicted to this blogging thing.
Totally going to have to get hooked up. One of our blog friends was telling Panda Mom and I about this yesterday, and we got all excited.
OK, lame-o me. Don't know HOW to use it. HELP!!
okay next trip down you are hooking me up with all the techno stuff you can .. i still haven't figured out how to put a link in a post if i am referring to something or put a cute picture by my name when i put a comment .. don't send me directions it all confuses me ..
It's a LIFESAVER! It really is! Really. :)
Amen...Best thing since sliced bread
I have never never used them, but want to because I think it will make my life easier?
I need to get on the blogline wagon.
I SO need to do thhis. How?
