I have my FAV Blogs and then a list of Blogs, sometimes I have an evening of just reading Blogs, but that can get very involved, as I flit from one to another thru the comments left. I soon lose my way. But it is always nice to make new friends.<BR/>I love what you are doing with all the quilts, I admire you so much for keeping up with everything too. I am lagging of late!!!!<BR/>Love to read your Blog, so you are on the FAV list of course. Keep up the good work.

I'm pretty good about keeping up with them. I'll read during a break at work or at lunchtime and on the weekends I really enjoy reading them first thing with my coffee. They feel like kind of a "reward" to me. I truly enjoy the blogs and am grateful to those of you who write them. I listen to my quilting podcasts on the way home from work - and again, it's something to look forward to.Denise in PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523418345283854892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-67910052820402677232009-02-11T08:39:00.000-06:002009-02-11T08:39:00.000-06:00I am following 7 blogs that I read from the dashbo...I am following 7 blogs that I read from the dashboard when there are new posts and with few days a part I read the 8-10 I have bookmarked because they don't have active follow option.

I get rid of some that haven't posted in forever or blogs that get really depressing. <BR/>The blogs about quilts are my favorites.

Having them there at least means I know when there's a new post. Sometimes I'll go around a blog ring, and like you, do a lot of skimming. I still think I spend too much time on the computer, I've gotten hooked on cnn.com as well. I find I've been watching almost no TV and I haven't been reading as many books. But, I figure it's all a phase & I'll move on after a while.

There are 5 (yours included) that I do my best to read every day. I think I take something different from each of you. The others I check on usually once a week. If I'm not able to keep up during the week, I veg out on Saturday mornings with coffee and quilt blogs. I usually read some in the evening, while my husband watches tv. And then I surf everyone's blog lists on their side bar to see what else I might be missing. Occasionally I delete someone from my list, if they just don't post much at all, or if I feel either my interests or theirs have changed. I have learned so much form these blogs, inspiration and encouragement. Some of you are so prolific, I find that encouraging too. Thanks for sharing yourself with all of us. Oh, I don't have a blog. I'm afraid I would spend SO much time trying to write it, that I'd never read or quilt anything else ever again. :0)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10988655883143861211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-5628458535305857162009-02-10T20:17:00.000-06:002009-02-10T20:17:00.000-06:00I just read them in the morning when I first wake ...I just read them in the morning when I first wake up and right before bed.
