Tech tip that will make your blogging life 603 oz. better

I was recently chatting with Cris! and I realized about a problem that some of you may have. With so many blogs to check nowadays (like 1/3 of the members of this blog have blogs of their own) it's too much time consuming to check every one of them, every now and then, to see if there is an update. I solve that problem some time ago and the purpose of this post is try to share some of that wisdom.

There are several ways to get notified about new posts. I added a few buttons at the left menu under "603 subscriptions". With this buttons you can subscribe to this blog via google, yahoo, or a few other "subscribers" (at the "readers" button).

Taking the google subscriber as an example, since it is the one I use, this is the howto step by step:
(Note that you need a gmail or google account to do this. You can do the same with yahoo if you have a yahoomail account)
1. Click on the "Add to google button"
2. You then have two options. You can choose any of them to subscribe, but for the purpose of this explanation choose "Add to Google Homepage".
3. After login you can customize your google homepage and add more blogs, news, your gmail inbox, and many other things

The beauty of this is that you can subscribe to any blog that provides a feed (basically every blog available in the web right now). All the "603 blogs" have feeds, since Blogger provides this.

As an example of how it looks like, this is my Google Homepage (Note that I have all your blogs right there. Yes, I love you all)


To add more feeds to your homepage go to the "Add Content" link and then, in "Create section" insert the feed url. To make things easier for you, here are all the feed urls of the 603 blogs:

* Aakash: http://aakash.nomadlife.org/atom.xml
* Ash: http://finiteabyss.blogspot.com/atom.xml
* Iva: http://ivuskawalterova.blogspot.com/atom.xml
* Monica: http://monicastravels.com/atom.xml
* Natercia: http://naterciasantos.blogspot.com/atom.xml
* Nate: http://itsbacon.blogspot.com/atom.xml
* Nikki: http://sweetpickledelight.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Just copy/paste each one you want under the "Create Section" textbox and click the button
