I check occasionally probably under 25 blogs --1-3 times per blog per month to read any new content of theirs. I mean blogs I visit regularily.
I'm finding in fact, I'm reading less maintstream news. I'm not so sure that's the best thing. But as long as I read 1-3 mainstream news from different sources..
The blog I need help with is cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com.
I'm probably the same with you. I check roughly around 20 blogs frequently. Although I'm actually subscribed to a whole load more. Sadly half of them are inactive. Is it wrong to unsubscribe?
I unsubscribe regularly, if I've lost interest in the blog or if it's been inactive for more than a month then they've lost a follower from me. I'd expect the same thing to happen to me. I try and read as many as I possibly can but the stresses of work don't always allow it.
I can honestly say I only follow 4 or 5 blogs closely, but check in on many others on a weekly to bi weekly basis.
Some of them I check regularly, others I find and visit only once or twice. It's not for lack of enjoyment, but rather due to the sheer number of blogs out there.
I love when I read someone's post and get inspired. The few times that's happened, I made sure to go back to the blog and let the author know, then link back somewhere in my post to let others know what inspired me.
It's a very organic way to network, versus just randomly commenting on someone's blog for additional exposure.
I have about 20 I follow - but only a handfull post every day. I read them each morning and then read a post if someone likes or comments on my blog.
When I started I was pretty click happy with the follow button - narrowed it down to a comfortable size.
It is useful for blogger to respond to other people's comments since there is always the possibility the reader may come back.
Any more experiences? This is actually a very easy question.
I've subscribed to 20-25, which change some over time. I read over a hundred others about 1/3rd of the time they post, and maybe another 30-40 when I'm doing research before posting one of my own articles. (Fortunately, I read very quickly.)
I just topped 40 subscribed blogs - especially now that we can follow arbitrary RSS feeds. Sometimes I'll go through a bit of downtime and scroll through all of the new posts in my feed, and I often find myself disappointed that I don't have more articles from my favorite authors in my feed. :)
I'm Subscribed to 28, but Follow maybe 20, and some of those don't Post that often... And a few of the one's I am subscribed to haven't Posted in a while.
DarkJade-
WAY TOO MANY! I try to read as often as possible, but I continually get too far behind.
Wow, mikey you are conscientious. And probably have amassed more knowledge along the way.
I tend to research only across 2-5 sites for useful info. And just leave it at that. Then I write the blog post.
I think I read around 10 sites on a variety of things. My favourite one is a very good Egyptology site, but the author isn't posting as often anymore.
