I am! I LOVE reading blogs. If you're reading this, I assume you like reading blogs too. But seriously, who has time to constantly be checking everyday to see if their favorite blogger has posted anything new? Not me. These days, I'm using a blog reader to help keep track of the numerous blogs I like to stalk. No more going to my favorites and clicking on each link to find a blog that hasn't been updated in weeks.
So, what's a blog reader?
Well, most blogs broadcast their content with what is called a syndicated feed such as RSS or ATOM. What a blog reader does is run it's software through the over 112 million blogs out there to collect those syndicated feeds and present them to you. So when a blog is updated, your blog reader will pick up the feed and notify you.
Most of the blogs I stalk are photography or business related but I also enjoy blogs related to news, celebrity gossip, crafts, parenting, music, technology & gadgets; among others. What are some of your favorite blogs?
If you don't use a blog reader, I highly suggest you start. I personally love Bloglines and Google Reader. I have over 100 blogs that I like to keep up with. Yes, over 100. And without a blog reader, that just wouldn't be possible.
So check one out. And if you do decide to start using one, don't forget to add the Kimberly Zay Photography blog.
