I have been using Google Reader to read blogs all winter. I can easily keep up with hundreds of blogs this way. I just subscribe to the blog and then when the blog is updated, Google Reader tells me and I read all of the blogs on one page. So I don’t need to keep going to a website to see if someone has updated. Google does it for me and delivers the new entry to my reader which I can read from any computer.
Problem is, some people only send a partial feed to the reader. Which means, I know that they have updated but I have to go to their site to read the whole entry. It’s really annoying and usually I just unsubscribe and push those blogs back into the abyss.
I have written to sites requesting that they send out a full feed. So far I have not been too successful with my full feed campaign.
Okay – I have changed my feed to full feed, from the summary ‘teaser’ feed as a result of your blog post. Got me thinking…
I use Google Reader too for all of my reading – if you’d be interested in swapping selective OPML files (i.e. feed locations for a category of blogs), I’d be up to it. Unless of course you already have a links page that I haven’t found.
Anyway,
Cheers,
Mungo
Hey Mungo,
Thanks for the full feed. I don’t have my blogs organized in categories, but if I organize them, yeah that would be great.
Hardly anyone updates their blogs anymore. It likes a long awkward pause in the conversation. Which is ok because I have some chores to do.
Good blogs are hard to find.
Thanks,

You have a good blog. Yours is the only one I read every day. It was the paper floor that got me looking around. That is very pretty. I wish you would post more pictures.
Sarah
Thanks, Sarah.
Okay, maybe I’ll start taking pictures again. It just seems like I have taken pictures of all of the obvious things–snow, sunsets, deer, etc.
I’ll try to find something new to take a picture of.
