Because I'm not technologically savvy, what I'm about to share with you may elicit yawns and quick clicks to a far more interesting post. I won't take it personally if you are light years ahead of me on the Internet. But somewhere out there, there are women just like me. We yell at the computer because it can't read our minds, we pound on the keyboard when trying to make ourselves understood (which has the same effect as pointing out a direction to a blind person), and we get excited when we "fix" the computer by turning it off and then on again. Just because we're not up on computers doesn't mean we don't appreciate a wonderful tool (if we can get it to work right).
All this being said, saving time is far more important than saving money, and it is here that I can help my technologically-stunted sisters: spend 15 minutes signing up and setting up an account over at bloglines. You will not regret it. You put in the URLs of all of your favorite blogs, and they gather them for you in one spot!! No more bopping around from one page to another, waiting for a page to load, and then when it does, you realize the author hasn't updated it yet. They highlight the blogs that have new posts - I know, take a breath.
Always one to come slowly to new things (blogging is pretty much enough for me; hubby's and my Facebook page sits there only for contact purposes anymore, and I cancelled my Twitter account yesterday because every time I brought it up it caused my computer to seize up like an arthritic woman in sub-zero temperature grabbing for her aluminum cane), I ignored the subtle clues I was reading in others' posts. You know, the talk about RSS feeds, reading a post through their collector, etc. I'm not sorry I did, I'm just glad that my naturally technologically reticent side finally caught up to society. Now watch, they'll be obsolete inside a month. *sigh* Oh well, it'll be great while it lasts.
Hmm...I am resistant but have to agree this looks interesting. I may try it!
I do agree saving time is so important. I now schedule my blog time ( mostly).
I use Google Reader to read and follow all the blogs, news, and other things I find of interest. It's a lot like bloglines. I use Google Reader because I already have an google account (because of my blogspot/blogger blog). That and if I decided to follow someone using blogspot/blogger follow option it automatically shows up in my google reader for me. It does save time!
I didn't know about that particular application (bloglines) - but blogger has a similar application - with just the newer stuff. Sometimes I like to look through it for new stuff and for a topic I'm interested in, but sometimes I like the blog the other way - click around - visit who I feel like or the people who visit me - that kind of thing.
Hey Shani!
You're not alone! Just before we lost our high-speed internet, I had just discovered Google Reader. I put in all of my non-HSB friends blogs there. I really liked it! I just read my friends' page here on HSB though.
You crack me up! :)
Love, Alyssa
Thanks for stopping by!
I've never had a problem with Twitter, but I've stayed away from facebook. I don't have enough time to blog as much as I want as it is! My posts haven't been very frequent lately. I've been busy with real life, but I try and pop in now and again.
I am not that internet/computer savvy. I don't even understand RSS and most things. Although my computer has a favorites button, where you are all found. Although, I do not know if they have updated till I get there. Thanks for sharing the link.
Be blessed,
Chasity
