Ready for Google Reader to Poof

I finally sat down with my feed list from Google Reader.  I put anything I'd really like to see here and some blogs that I like ok but they have too many ads for my taste or they aren't updated much I just stuck in favorites.

I actually had to Google Google Reader to get to it, I looked this week in my list of apps or whatever from Google and it isn't anyplace to be seen.  I suppose they don't want people going all wild and subscribing to feeds.  Bad dogs.

I enjoy my current blogroll and have been tweaking it lately. It has my many interests pretty well covered.  I am at 85 and I could be mis-remembering, but I think the limit is 144 blogs in the roll.  Keeping an eye on it and will let you know.

Feed Me

I know, I know.  I'm the only one who has these issues.  Still, when I thought about trying Feedly I pictured this:

I had to use Firefox (which I find annoying) and I had to download Feedly software before doing anything like signing up for an account...no option that I could see at all...but I got this:

It was trying to categorize my RSS Feed even though I hadn't give it one.  Doofus.  I understand the site is busy but it hasn't made a good first impression on me and for the nonce I will stick with Plan A.

Google Reader Saving My Favorites

Just as I was about to add some sites to my Google Reader list they announced this week they are getting rid of Google Reader in July.  There are apparently some alternatives but none look particularly appealing so far.

I want to save my sites, so my plan is to just open Google Reader, click on a post to go to the actual site and then save it to My Favorites in Internet Explorer.  Putzy but it is guaranteed that I will still be able to keep up with the many blogs and other sites I enjoy.
