BLOGGING and GOOGLE READER

WELCOME TO THE BLOGOSPHERE
It's taken me a while, but I'm finally surfing the blogosphere. I've limited myself to design and advertising-related blogs, but this hasn't stunted my options for great blogs in any way. Currently I'm subscribed to more than a dozen blogs that are pretty amazing for their content.

Graphic Fetish is the most recent blog I've subscribed to–within the last ten minutes. The "40+ Creative Postcards" posting is fantastic (postcards gathered from Behance Network). I found my way there from Noupe.com, which has quickly become one of my favorites for the number of great posts they send out daily.

Credit for my newbie entrance to the designo-blogo-sphere (can I coin that term?), goes to my partner, Jeannie, who has been using Google's Reader for quite some time and I finally listened to her when she told me "once again" that I should start using it.

GOOGLE READER
The Google Reader is a Web-based aggregator, capable of reading RSS feeds online or offline. This means that you can subscribe to blogs through an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed and have them sent (fed) directly to your personal reader regularly, allowing you to check the blogs at your leisure. If you aren't using GR yet, or another similar reader, then it's time to start looking into it.

Here are a few of my favorite design blogs for you to check out on your own:
Noupe

That's enough for now, if I give you all of the blogs I'm currently reading, you'll be in the same trouble as I am, and most of your time will be spent checking out all of the cool and interesting items they all have available.

Used to be my time was spent on Deviant Art, now it's split between blogs and DA. It won't be long before we start reading about bloggers anonymous groups starting up in cities near you.

Let me know if there's a blog I should be subscribing to that you just can't stop reading.
