Thank you all for this...Tenei to mihi ki a koutou!<br /><br />Thank you all for this advice - I have a few folders in my RSS but it looks like I need more! And I haven't used the ones I have enough. I now have my week-end blog project mapped out!<br /><br />Haere mai Vasta!<br /><br />A good idea for a folder for personal - yes, I use the 'mark all as read' too. It's magic!<br /><br />Hare mai Chrissy!<br /><br />I like your categories for folders - a skim reading folder :-) for instance.<br /><br />Kia ora Ken!<br /><br />Ah! Guilt! Yes it's something that doesn't sit well with commitment but often accompanies it. Streamlining - that's where it's at!<br /><br />Tēnā koe e Sue!<br /><br />Yup. I don't like culling blogs either - for the same reason as you give. You showed me how to use the Reader for searching - some time ago now. That is a good tip. I've used it ever since.<br /><br />Tēnā koe Virginia!<br /><br />Using the blog tool-bar is a good idea! Thanks for the tip on iGoogle. I'll explore these options.<br /><br />Catchyas laterBlogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-83315424174727755732009-06-25T13:55:12.028-07:002009-06-25T13:55:12.028-07:00I find the readers difficult to keep up with so I ...I find the readers difficult to keep up with so I use the RSS as a tool bar to specific sites which I read regularly (You're blog is on my iGoogle). When I have time I go to other blogs, but for the most part I I stick with the 14 or so "regulars" (most of which are on the tool bar on my blog).V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-52945928533241712662009-06-25T07:34:51.881-07:002009-06-25T07:34:51.881-07:00Hi Ken, I'm the same as the rest.

I sort all my subscriptions into folders and then feel comfortable marking some folders as unread. <br /><br />Another way of trimming is to have the blogs in folders. Let the posts fill up for a few days where you don't read. Since I have to then read them faster I helps me work out if there are any specific blogs I tend to skim read (hence do I really need to keep). <br /><br />Mostly I hate removing any blog because searching Google Reader is my most important source of information when researching information for a post. <br /><br />However another point I consider when deciding to keep a blog subscription or delete is to consider would I write comments on the person's post. There are a few well known bloggers that rarely respond back to readers, so I don't bother writing comments.Sue Watershttp://theedublogger.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-70725256101333205212009-06-24T20:05:32.730-07:002009-06-24T20:05:32.730-07:00I think my biggest mental block was overcoming gui...I think my biggest mental block was overcoming guilt. For a long stretch I felt as though I was obligated to read every post (or at least offer a cursory scan of the content - not just the title).<br /><br />Lately, as I focus on streamlining my processes once again, I just started taking notice of content I was just not consuming - and dropping it. Past that, I am now trying to figure out how to get new - but useful - content into my feed...<br /><br />Warmest Regards,<br />KKen Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253119051236940476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-79667538592517238512009-06-24T09:37:22.680-07:002009-06-24T09:37:22.680-07:00I am the same as Vasta.

The 'must read' are blogs that I read religiously and wouldn't miss, regardless of how often they post or don't post. 'Might read' - that's my skim reading folder. If the title catches my eye I will read it, otherwise I'm pretty liberal with the "mark all as read" too. Another way I don't miss out on too much 'good' stuff is taking notice of the Friends Shared Items in my Google Reader. When someone in my PLN shares an item (and they obviously feel that it's worth sharing with their PLN) it turns up there, so I usually read those too. For some reason, they are usually posts from blogs that aren't in my reader - I don't have to subscribe because my PLN will share it!Teaching Sagittarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466506242900349502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-70090139402901237612009-06-24T04:35:25.225-07:002009-06-24T04:35:25.225-07:00I've separated my RSS feeds into folders that ...I've separated my RSS feeds into folders that are topical but also time sensitive: meaning I can then decide that today, I only have time to read personal blog posts made by my friends, or today, I have time to read all the innumerable posts on all the tech blogs I subscribe to. If I can't keep up with one folder, I'm liberal with the "mark all as read" button. Easiest way for me to keep up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
