behind the times

Jul 29

Posted by: Rachel in: blog, me myself and i, ramblings, who wants to read this?

I feel like such a huge dork. I don’t have a huge number of blogs I check in on daily, there are several, but not an overwhelming number I suppose. Anyway, I confess, I have always clicked on them from my blog shelf one by one. I am trying to figure out the RSS mess. I feel so behind for not using it, so tell me, what do you use? My internet searches tell me that a lot of readers have a similar feel to Microsoft Outlook, which I absolutely despise.

Right now I’m using a Firefox add-on called Sage. When I added myself, it only showed up with excerpts of my posts, despite me having “show entire post” checked under my options in wordpress. Anyway, I changed the address on my rss feed button up there on the navigation bar and now the entire post appears in Sage. I consider myself reasonably tech savvy, but I admit, I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to RSS. I at least have my blogs that I check daily on there, so you people stop reading and go post something so I can see if it updates correctly! :)

    I used to do the same thing, but since I’ve started my own I use Google Reader and like it quite a bit. (I’m pretty sure this is what you’re talking about…not sure that RSS is…looks like you’re not the only dork!)

    Not sure I have the right answer either… I use Feedburner?!?!? And I save blogs so I can read them with My Yahoo. Ugh, I’m a dork too!
