I don't know how you keep up with this blog (if you keep up with this blog), but for my subscriptions, I use Google Reader. It's a pretty bangin' tool, and makes it fairly easy to get all of your subscriptions in one location.
That being said, I have roughly 120 subscriptions, everything from friend's blogs to ministries' blogs, some authors, and several different webcomics. Over the summer, because I couldn't get online every day, I got way behind on my subscriptions. Like 400 unread posts behind.
Yesterday, I took it upon myself during my three hours at work to clear them all out, and I did. At 3:30 yesterday I had zero unread posts.
Now, I get on today and had 26 unread posts. Is that bad? Some people update two or three times a day, so it's a little understandable. But I could easily see blogging becoming as big a hindrance as Facebook was. Bleh.
How do you get your blog posts? Do you think it can be a hassle to keep up with them?

You can't read everything. I use google reader to skim headlines and only read those things that catch my interest. Thought there are a handful of blogs that I follow every post.
ReplyDeleteI just know that I can't everything. I make strong efforts to read all of my friend's posts and a couple other interesting ones. The rest I skim and read if I have the time.
ReplyDeleteI also go through and evaluate my subscriptions every so often. Get rid of some virtual clutter. Some blogs don't always stay interesting.
Good advice, both of you. I find that it's difficult for me to "let a blog go," because I'm pretty careful about choosing to subscribe to one, but I think I just need to suck it up a little.
