Dude, I totally forgot to show off my new RSS reader. It's like a friendslist for blogs!

Cleo Cleo Cleo! Did you know that LJ now autosaves your unfinished entries?! No more "yo, I used to have an entry, but that's gone to shit."

well, I'm excited.

I noticed that the other day. I wish they'd had that long ago. I'm still not sure I trust it and I copy long posts before hitting that post button. *is paranoid*

augh I know. It's save my life about five million times already

I just use my friends page as my rss reader. It saves time, because I only have to go to one website to read it all. :)

I'm kind of weird in that I like keeping LJ people ("real people") on one page and news/professional bloggers on a different one. A lot of my Google Reader stuff is movie news feeds.

That's not weird at all - it makes perfect sense. I'm just lazy. :)

I..don't really understand what this is.

But it looks pretty, so I kind of want it.

A lot of blogs and websites nowadays--at least the kind that update on a daily or weekly basis--have RSS feeds now. What you do is give your reader (in this case, Google Reader) the URLs of those feeds (or in this case, Google will find them for you), and you can see stuff from lots of different websites on one page. It's like having a friends list on LJ, only instead of y'all, it's got comingsoon.net and Yahoo Weather and Entertainment Weekly on it.

I'm afraid of what it's going to look like once the work week starts--it's been kind of slow because it's the weekend. I'm hoping this'll help me keep up with all these blogs I keep meaning to read but don't.

Fear totally not. Google's as good a way to do your feed-reading as any. The one I use? Web-based as well, and hasn't been updated (code-wise) in ages. There are enough readers out there, and feed-reading itself is such a non-complex thing to ask a computer to do, that it's hard to justify evangelizing any particular software choice.

Wow. How's THAT for "the voice of moderation," eh? *wry grin*
