This is a question raised by Elena at her EP Designs blog - some people have a blogroll list so long a kangaroo couldn’t jump over it… do they actually keep up with those blogging friends? Do they regularly read their posts and comment on them?
Well, I must admit that I’m one of those people. I don’t have all my favourite blogs listed on my blog because there’s just too many of them. And yes, I do like to keep up with them all (although I must admit, never as often as I’d like).
Late last year I found myself really struggling to keep up with them all, clicking from one blog to another. Then I spent an hour or so and subscribed to all my favourite blogs. If you haven’t already done this, I highly recommend you do. You can use a simple program like Bloglines or Feedburner. Add all your favourites and then just log in there each day or each week. You can see all the new posts since your last visit and read them in one place. If you want to comment on anything, you can easily do that too.
Here’s to your success in business…

I’m a bit slow when it comes to understnding about ‘feeds’ and ‘subscribing’ etc but I’ll have to try a bit harder. It sounds like it’s a lot easier to catch up on your favourite blogs.
Google Reader is also really good. And the best thing is that even if you get behind in your reading, you always know where you are up to.
