Up until about an hour ago I had not yet given into having an actual RSS reader. There's just something about being on somebody's actual blog page that gives you a real sense of who this person is. In a reader all the "fluff" is removed and call me crazy but I enjoy the "fluff".
So I had all my RSS feeds on my Google homepage and from there I could see when there was new posts and I then I could click through to the blog to read the new posts.
But my homepage has not been working too well. And I've been missing posts. And now I don't trust it so I click through to everybody's blog everyday even if it doesn't show a new post. Which kind of negates the whole point of having the feed on my homepage.....
So this morning I transferred all my feeds to Google Reader. I'll give it a test run for a week or so and see how I like it. And I'll let you know. Maybe I'll find that I like it better....or not. Only time will tell.

Yeah I like going to people's actual blogs too. It's nice because on Plaxo you can see them all in the feed AND you can click through directly to the blog.
I can click through to the actual blog on the Google Reader, too. So it may work out okay. The jury is still out, since nobody has written a new post since I converted everything over.
Yeah I don't actually read in my reader, though some people do. I preview the story in my reader, and if it looks interesting I click it open.
Of course I click open all Blog posts from friends & family. It's the news Blogs that I'm selective about.
That's the routine. Actually I hit a button on my keyboard that pops the story open in Safari, in a new tab. Then after I've filtered through all the new blog posts I close my RSS reader, and all the news articles and such are queued up right there for my reading.
