I love blogs. Why? Because I feel like I am always on the edge of what is new and exciting.

I used to bookmark lots of websites. I have a whole stack of freelance writing links, but I never return to them. It is just too time consuming. And then you do not even know how to find the new things.

With blogs, it is so different, I just add them to my feed reader and get the latest news right to my desktop, in real time (or close to it).

The only negative is that it is very easy to add a feed and much more difficult to take a feed out. Not technically, but just knowing which ones to kick out. You tend to know the good ones that keep coming up with great content, but the boring ones stay under the radar and clutter the feed reader.

I have not used it yet, but Google Feed Reader (which I am using) has a star system. I guess I need to star great posts and at the end of each month, I’ll just delete the feeds from the reader that do not have any starred item.

You can check the freelance writing links that I have included in my feed reader.
