Staying Current – Blog Options

Obviously none of us have time to stay current with everything. Remembering all the blogs you like, visiting them regularly, and reading all the e-mails, mail, and publications can be overwhelming. I can’t simplify it all, but I thought I would suggest two ways of staying informed if you find this or other blogs interesting.

First, you can subscribe to the e-mail list. What this means is that any day there is a new post you will get an e-mail sent to you. Here are a few screen shots so you see what that means. It is an easy to read format sent by Feedburner. It has links to forward the article and unsubscribe at anytime. (But, you should know that you will get a confirmation e-mail from Feedburner after you register. Make sure it doesn’t get caught in your spam filter. I have about 10 people that have signed up to receive updates, but they have never confirmed.)

I find this easy since I read a lot offline, and I visit when I need to not trying to time new posts.

The second option is to use a blog reader tool like iGoogle where you can have all your blogs. I use this as my start-up page in my browser so I can see what the world is talking about from traditional media to different bloggers.
