My friend Ashlee helped me discover this lovely little convenience when she posted about it on her blog, so I'm going to follow her lead and spread the word. Some of you may go through each one of your blog links to see who has updated their blog and for those of you with a ton of blogging friends and family members, this probably gets old. With Google Reader, you don't have to do that anymore. Using it is like having an email account except that your inbox is filled with whichever blogs have been updated by people you know. Those of you who have blogs have access to it already. All you have to do is sign in to your gmail email. Up at the top of your inbox there are various links that say things like calendar, documents, photos, groups, etc. One may even say reader. If it doesn't, click on the blue arrow next to the link that says more and there will be a list of other links to choose from. Click on reader. Once it pulls up, click on "add subscription" on the left hand side of the page and start adding all of your friend's and family member's blog addresses. They will load and from then on, you will no longer have to go through every single link on your page to see who has made a new post. You will just be notified when you check your google reader and then you can either read the post right there or you can click on it and it will take you to that blog. Hopefully this makes sense because for the sake of convenience, I highly recommend it!
And no, I am not getting paid for this advertisement. I wish.

Yea!! I love Google Reader. Except for when mine doesn't have any new posts on it. I hate when people don't blog!!
I had no idea! I'll have to look into getting that set up! You are a good writer!
I added the google reader and its great! Thanks for the tip! Yes, I really am prego now, no hiding it anymore! As for my background, on my blog under friends there is a 'design your own blog' and its a link I found to creating your onw with cute background etc. Its really simple and fun! Cant wait to see yours, I know it will be cute!
Amy- I love your blog background! Where did you find it? It is so darn cute. Hope you are doing well!
Hey you got the background fixed! It looks great!
Amy- yeah i used that place you told me. it took awhile but it was really simple. thank you. I was in need of something different!
I didnt even notice that the papers were the same, no worries, Rebecca made it for me! I think yours looks great and nobody will notice (including me!) Its so fun to be creative this way because if I was actually scrapbooking it would look like a 5 year old did it!
Just stopped by your blog, very cute! I'm Amanda's cousin-in-law. Thanks for this post, I am going to sign up right away. This will save me so much time.
