I do find I get much more done when I restrict my computer time ... but it is lots of fun to see what others are up to.

I use Bloglines, and currently have 275 blogs that I am subscribed to...about 95% of them are quilting related. I am on and offline all day, in between my other stuff, so I just hop on, check to see who has an updated post and check it out for a few minutes. Sometimes I comment, sometimes not. My favorite blogs, maybe 25 or so I read first whenever I see a new post, then I read my others that I like most, generally most days. Then there are those blogs that I only check maybe once a week (mostly the non-quilty ones).Tracey in CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172273610231927352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-8487868886348964462008-04-01T18:34:00.000-05:002008-04-01T18:34:00.000-05:00I use bloglines (I'd never heard of Goodle Reader)...I use bloglines (I'd never heard of Goodle Reader) but I probably visit all of the blogs on the list once I can see there is a post. Pictures and fonts on the actual blgs are more pleasant to read I find. Usually getting around the list takes up so much time that right now I check the blog if I see there are more than two posts I haven't read yet.

I go around a couple of rings once a week, hit a few blogs every day (yours is one) and limit my comments to one day a month. I get myself in a comment mode, and hit all my favorites. I try not to add blogs to my stressors in my life--enough of those already. I try to keep them a joy and not an obligation.Lynn Dykstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689293134690945439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-44083089275734125972008-04-01T17:43:00.000-05:002008-04-01T17:43:00.000-05:00I have waaaaay too many on my Bloglines list, and ...I have waaaaay too many on my Bloglines list, and I've gotten reeeeally bad about commenting.<BR/>Jeanne :( Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597301644404678019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-43548330541086154472008-04-01T11:42:00.000-05:002008-04-01T11:42:00.000-05:00I have about 10 blogs in my 'favorites' list that ...I have about 10 blogs in my 'favorites' list that I check everyday, otherwise just too much valuable time gets *sucked up*.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080063950356273909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-18579384883406195992008-04-01T11:28:00.000-05:002008-04-01T11:28:00.000-05:00I now use Bloglines instead of going around the ri...I now use Bloglines instead of going around the rings.

I'm always looking for 'something' -- not sure what! LOL When I leave a comment, I go directly to the connection. A LOT of time, my Netscape Browser crashes on certain blogs. Then I shut down, and open Mozilla Bloglines, which is more stabile.

I have a list of blogs I visit, but when I see a reference to a blog that sounds interesting, I check it out. Sometimes I read comments on one of my favorite blogs and go check out the commenter. And I try to always go visit someone who leaves a comment on my blog. <BR/><BR/>As my tastes have changed, I have deleted some blogs, but the list never seems to get any smaller. <BR/><BR/>Limiting time on the internet?

I got overwhelmed a few months back and quit reading any blogs, even those I really enjoy, so now I check the ones I really like and when I have time, I go to the others and may have several posts to browse through. I have decided that if when it becomes a chore, I will just "mark as read" and forget it.jovaliquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658198685121310571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-55660552146221361052008-03-31T19:52:00.000-05:002008-03-31T19:52:00.000-05:00I use google reader and I check it several times a...I use google reader and I check it several times a day.
