Reader rabbit and the trouble with RSS

As I mentioned before I started this blog for a class project. I started using Google reader for a completely different reason. See, my husband got a little cranky listening to me grip about how my web comics were never updating on time. "If you have a reader you can just check that instead of a billion other web pages" he said. "Yeah, but that makes too much sense" said I, which forced my poor husband to sign me up instead of continue to listen to me ranting. Unfortunately I read a lot of web comics. Twenty on a daily basis and many others whenever I feel like reading through the archives. This leads to a very messy list of "feeds" showing up everyday. Now, instead of signing up for RSS feeds I'm taking the opportunity to weed myself down to the few I really want.

Another little issue I never expected: I sign into Blogger and Google with two different email accounts. This means that when I sign into one it automatically signs me out of the other one. It's possible to do work from one to the other, but kind of a pain. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I the only one using two email accounts?

I'm going to have to make a file folder for the blogs I follow too, just to keep my self organized! It's harder than it looks :)

  1. I have several gmail accounts to keep types of email in it's place. A few years ago I belonged to the JackPine collective and at that time there was a phenomenal amount of email being exchanged among members of the collective. All of it important but a long email discussion with many participants was not what I wanted to see first thing in the AM, coffee in hand. Or at work. So I have that account for various volunteerish things, and another for family email. It just seemed natural to set up one just for the 23 things project so this profile would not get cluttered with other blogs etc. yes I am continually signing in and out but I don't feel like I have multiple personality disorder ;-) (wish I could organise my desk that efficiently)
