Blogger Blog List!

Speading sunshine...

On my normal round of blog surfing yesterday I read on Brown English Muffin's blog that Blogger now had a Blog list a feature that you can add to your page. Of course I don't read the Blogger buzz, but I probably need to start!

For those of you who have blogger....
Check out the Blogger Buzz for June 5. You can now add a blog list to your blog that automatically updates. I remember some talk about a 3rd party service that did this a while ago, but never took the time to input all the data. The only other way that I know of to add to your Blog Roll (which was simply a list of links) is to do it one at a time.
So now you get to see who is updating and when they last updated right on the blog list. The best part as far as I'm concerned is that you can import the blogs you have in Google Reader. And even better, you don't have to import all the blogs you subscribe to, just the ones you choose to show on your page. It also keeps track of which ones you've already added in case you want to go back through and add more. I created a blog list over 50 entries long in under a minute. I love anything that saves time.

I've been putting off syncing my Blog Roll with Reader, because it was going to be time consuming. I'm so excited that I procrastinated!

Great feature, huh? I "happened" to see this on the BUZZ the other day and I was so excited about it. I've already added it to my blog.

Also, I'm so thrilled that you've added BEM as one of your "reads". She's a SUPER SWEETHEART! I've "known" her for a little over 2 years now...I can't wait to actually meet her IRL, lol. And she lives near my dad, in NY. How cool is THAT??

Talk to you soon, my friend.
