Not Blogging All Over Myself: 2

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

I met Jess when we both spent a summer in Vietnam three years ago.  She is now a Peace Corp Volunteer in Cameroon and keeps an astonishingly humorous chronicle of her life there.

You may have to read around the archives a bit to get oriented, but it’s worth it.  I’ve been known to have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

Painless Tech Lesson: Google Reader

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

There are two types of people: those who use Google Reader and those who do not.

Using Google Reader changes your life. Really. Once you start you will never–never–go back to your old method of reading blogs.

After you’re logged into your Google account and are on the Reader page, you “Add Subscription” for the URL of each blog you read.

Example: “Add Subscription” –> www.smorgasbite.com.

You wait a few seconds. My latest posts will appear in bold. You read them. If you want to get to my actual site to vote in the polls, search the archives, or read just generally admire my site, click the title of the post (or the double echelons inside of the grey circle).

There are a thousand additional features, each more amazing, handy and time-saving than the last, but this is all for now. Just get started.

See, wasn’t that painless?
