Are You In My Feed Reader?

December 2nd, 2007 by Stephen Cronin (1,692 views)

Many bloggers have a blogroll to give some link love to the blogs they read regularly. I don’t - yet. I’m planning to create one and display 5 random links in my sidebar, but for the moment, here is a list of the blogs I read.

This list is created using the new feature in Google Reader, which allows you to create a Google Reader Blogroll. It’s a little limited with regards to the formatting options and it’s worth reading Andy Beard’s post on how to get an OPML version working, but it has a lot of promise and will do for now.

As I mentioned recently in Feed Reading Models, I’m slowly moving from aggregated feeds such as the BUMPzee No NoFollow community one, to individual site feeds. Every few days, I’ll find another blog that I’ve missed adding. So if you’re not in the list, don’t despair - you may soon be!

Note: This blogroll is no longer live (ie it has not been pulled from Google Reader as you loaded the page). The number of feeds I subscribe to has increased and I need to organise them into separate folders, rather than one main folder. It’s not practical to share each folder. Therefore I have copied and pasted the source code, so you’ll always see the blogs I was subscribed to on 12th February 2008.

Without further ado…

  1. Cheers Stephen :-)

    I’m just in the process of a host transfer, and then I might actually get back to writing something….

  2. Hi Chris, I hope all is going well with the job and I’m really looking forward to your ‘return’!

  3. Ooh - I’m there! I’m there! Thanks for the vote of confidence :)

  4. Meg, Of course you’re there! :)
    Actually, I was a bit worried for a while. After the post, FeedBurner showed I’d lost 9 subscribers (which is a lot for me). I was imagining people unsubscribing because they just found out I wasn’t subscribed to their feed! Turns out is was just Sunday-itis. The numbers are back up again today…

  5. I have so many good links to recommend and to to share that they will never fit in a blogroll. So I use a separate link directory:

    Enjoy it!

  6. thanks! great tips… stumbled to you - just wanted to let you know I was here too… sounds like we might get along!

  7. Hi Rudi, I checked out your link directory and it seems great! Thanks for adding my blog - I’m in really good company there.

    Hi Jared, thanks for the stumble. I had a quick look at your site and it seems pretty good. Thanks for stopping by.

  8. Hi Stephen,

    Wow, now I can say - sorry, I’ve been occupied elsewhere and not keeping up with my reading. Thanks for the mentions here and elsewhere - I’m busy reading your post on the MMO subject, so I’m off back to that now to throw in my 2 cents :-)

    Compliments of the season to you and yours !

    Mo

  9. Hi Mo,

    I know you’ve been busy with your new article directory. I’m behind in my reading as well. I’ve got your Make Money Online series sitting unread in my reader, waiting until I have enough time to read them properly.

    Seasons greetings to you and yours as well!
