Feed my Addiction … RSS that is
I was so proud of my self today …
You see I have an addiction to my feed reader. My mom says I am a high information sort, but I think I am just "into" way to many topics. Design, diy, blogging, finances, fashion, decorating, cooking, going green – to name a few.
So my problem is I subscribe to so many blogs that I can never catch up. Today though, I started actually deleting blogs from my reader. *gasp*
I found a fun feature in my GReader (google), on the Trends page (section?) there is a little tab that says "Inactive." When I looked over this inactive list and realized that some of my subscribed blogs hadn’t updated since May or June (and I hadn’t noticed) I decided I could delete them.
Of course in the process of trying to figure out which blogs to delete I ended up catching up on my reading which always results in finding more blogs. How can deleting blogs from your feed reader cause your feed count to grow do you ask …
Bloggrl is in my blogging folder in my reader she has a funny post about Contest Blogger. So naturally I visit Contest Blogger which then leads me to a contest. Imagine that! I pop on over to Dear Crissy for two reasons, #1 the mention of $50 and #2 I love the cute graphic of her blog. Come to find out Crissy is a 27-year-old artist, photographer, and writer. Which could only mean 1 thing. Dear Crissy is now added to my "twenty-something" feeds folder.
They say the first step to overcoming an addiction is admittance. So here I am – I have an addiction to my feed reader. In the process of trying to narrow down my feeds I ended up adding 2 more. Hey but maybe I could win $50!
