Blog Confusion July 19, 2004
I read close to 50 blogs, about 40 of which are infertility blogs. (Yes, I have no life). My husband introduced me to Bloglines a while back. It’s pretty neat. You subscribe to the blogs you read, and it notifies you when there are new posts. You can then read the new posts right in Bloglines without even going to the blog itself. It’s definitely easier than bookmarking 50 blogs, and checking each one periodically throughout the day. The thing I’ve noticed since adding more blogs to my repertoire is that I’m having trouble keeping people straight. With the blogs that I’ve been reading for a while, I don’t have any trouble, but the newer ones are giving me fits. I think the main problem is that without going to the actual blog to read each post, I lose the association between the actual look of the blog and who’s writing it. For me, seeing the design of the blog, triggers my brain to know exactly who I’m reading. I think the solution is to use Bloglines as a notifier, but then click through to the actual blog. Hopefully this will straigthen things out. It’s important for me to read these blogs and get to “know” these women. It helps me deal with all this infertility crap when I can identify with others out there in blogland.
