If you don’t want to remember to visit multiple blogs or websites every day, implement Google Reader. It’s a great time saver. With Google Reader, you can:

Keep track of your favorite websites.

Stay up to date:

Google Reader constantly checks your favorite news sites and blogs for new content. Whether a site updates daily or monthly, you can be sure that you won’t miss a thing.

Simplify your reading experience:

Google Reader shows you all of your favorite sites in one convenient place. It’s like a personalized inbox for the entire web.

After you go to Google Reader, you need to sign in with your Google account, or if you don’t have one, you can create one. It’s free, of course.

There are a few ways to add subscriptions.

• You can click on “manage subscriptions” and then “goodies.” Scroll down and drag and drop the little “+Google” button to the bookmarks tool bar. So later, when you’re on a blog you want to subscribe to, simply click the “Add to Google” in your tool bar, and you’ll be forwarded to GReader for subscription options.
• Or you can click “Add Subscription” on your GReader page. Then, copy and paste the link from the website you want to subscribe to. And click “Add.”
• Also, some sites have an RSS button (which looks like this: ) that you can click to set up the site in GReader. For example, on the upper right of this page, you’ll see “The Towells RSS feed”.

If that was confusing, watch this tutorial video.

Once you have several subscriptions, you might want to organize GReader better. You can do this with folders. I have folders for: Friends, News, Thrift, Bible, Sports, and Mom Stuff. To set up similar folders, click on a feed. Then select “feed settings” from the top right corner of the page. You can then add the feed to an existing folder or “create a new folder.”
