There are a lot of blogs I'd like to read. There's a lot of everything I'd like to read. I'm a reader. From time to time, I get worried that I'm doing this blogging and reading thing wrong. I'm a reader and a worrier. But what if I'm not following accepted blog etiquette?
Mostly I worry about technology. (I'm not going to leave a comment on your blog selling you something or calling out your politics.) Many times, I read your blog post and don't leave a comment. I nod to myself and think, "Yes, I enjoyed that," but I don't go through the word verification process to comment "yes." But you'd probably like to know I'm reading, right?
So then I should be your follower. And I want to be your follower. I use Google Reader. It has a Subscription list of blogs I've "subscribed" to with a subfolder of blogs I'm "following." I have no idea what the difference is! What if I accidentally "subscribe" instead of "follow" and the blog owner can't see me? What if someone who comments regularly here is thinking, "That Kate, she won't follow me, what a snot." Because somehow I'm subscribed to you instead. Are there people subscribed to me that I don't know about? Um, probably, given how confused I am on this distinction.
If you comment here, I've tried to go back and follow you. I'm probably reading your blog or your twitterfeed. So here's my chance to say: if it doesn't look like I'm following you, would you mind letting me know? Because I can see what my Google Reader looks like to me, but I can't see what it looks like to you.
Any tips and tricks on blog following are appreciated!

Are you following my blog? Because if not, you should. The main reason being that I'm so modest. :) (But also because Lisa Schroeder is guest posting on it later today, like in an hour)
ReplyDeleteHehe.
I love my Google Reader; it's so easy to just follow a bunch of blogs and just read from the same place. I clean out my Reader as much as I can every day while at work (it's a nice reprieve- do a few minutes of work, read a blog post, do some more work, read a blog post, etc.). Fun times.
Kate, I also have blog guilt! Like when I don't comment on everyone's or read all the ones I want to. :-p
