blogging tool of the year!

where have i been? apparently in a dark closet. or in the snowed-in world that has been utah this winter. which actually is not a helpful excuse because that should give me more time to spend on the internet. what am i talking about? only the most efficient and amazing blogging tool ever: google reader! alison turned me on to this while in vegas over the weekend and i couldn't be more excited about it. so now instead of going to my blog a few times a day and scrolling one by one through my blog links, checking for a friend's new post, then returning to my blog for the next link i can just log into google (reader) and it conveniently displays my "reading list" which shows me any of my subcriptions' new posts! i don't even have to go to the actual blog unless i want to comment, but that's easy because i can just click on the blog's title and voila! a few of us had been wondering how alison manages to be the first to comment on every blog in the entire world, and this is how she does it! {sorry to reveal your secret, adi!} it took maybe twenty minutes to manually add all my blogs to my google reader subcriptions and i was off and running. so, expect more comments {and timely ones} from me from now on.
