The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Blog Reading Rituals
How does everyone read blogs? Do you scroll down and read them in order? Do you pick and choose which ones look interesting and maybe go back to others later?
I like to check my subscription list in the morning when I check my email and usually read my favourite blogs first (if they have a new post) and will go back to others later if I feel like it.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has a method or routine when it comes to reading blogs.

I use Bloglovin' and check those posts in order.... I then have a few others bookmarked that I am testing out, which I read throughout the day (I work from home- so it is easy to get distracted!).

I use Bloglovin too! I like the thumbnail and summary display, and I read my favorite blogs first. I also like that clicking the link takes me to the actual blog to read the post - with google reader I would just read through the posts and sometimes totally forget what the blogs actually looked like (or which blog the post I was reading came from!)

I use Google Reader.
I have all of my subscriptions in folders cause I like to stay organized. I put them kind of in themed folders (Some of my folders: art&journal, vintage&lifestyle, lifestyle, business bloggers, wedding blogs, friends blogs, photography, writing, inspiration/design blogs.) I have almost 15 folders I think. There are some folders that I check once or twice a week and others I check other day. I also don't read every blog in every folder every day (lots of everys lol).
Some of my favorite blogs, I follow on google reader but also follow them on twitter and when the post a link, I read it directly on the blog.
I'm currently not in school or employed so I read blogs almost all day lol

I have some sorted into folders (Foodie/Recipe blogs, Social Media blogs, NYC-centric, etc), but otherwise I click just randomly! I like being surprised. ;)

I have them categorized in my Google Reader (ex: friends, 20sb, money, inspiration). I usually tend to check blogs by friends first. next, I go by lengths (short first, longer dead last) I determine that by blogger personalities. I've grown to know if a blogger usually posts short posts vs. long winded ones.

Yeah, I know what you mean about short and long posts. But for me some bloggers are so talented I would read anything by them, regardless of length.

Interesting - I've never used Google Reader and didn't know you could make folders and stuff. I just read them on the blogs and used the friend connect thing on Blogger's Dashboard to see new posts. I click on the ones I love first and go back later if something caught my attention.

I generally scroll down to the last post I read, and start from there. I don't read every post by every every blogger I follow EVERY day, but I do at least scroll through them. Most of them I go back and read later anyway. It's just a matter of what the title is and how the beginning of the post catches my attention.

I school through the newest posts on Blogger Dashboard until I get to the last one that I've read. As I scroll through, I open the new posts that look interesting in new tabs and then read them one by one. Some days, I have tons of tabs with new posts open, and some days, I don't. Honestly though, I don't read EVERY new post.

I use my blog roll to remind me what to read.
I have it in alphabetical order. Usually I will just go down the list. Unless I'm pressed for time, then I just read a couple of my favorites.
