How To: Read Blogs through Google Reader

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

[I did a post awhile back for an academic/society blog I belong to on how to add blogs to Google Reader. I'm stealing that information here.]

Google Reader lets you subscribe to this blog's updates-feed, so you can read the blog posts (as they're posted) in one location. Plus, Google Reader will keep track of which posts you have and haven't read!

Instructions

1. Get a Google account. If you have a Gmail account, this step is already done!
2. Go to Google Reader.
3. Click the 'Add a subscription' button in the upper left:

4. Type the blog-to-be-added's URL (http://byov.blogspot.com/) into the little pop-up textbox:
   
   
5. Click the 'Add' button just right of the textbox.
6. You've added the blog to your Google Reader Feed! Now just visit Google Reader anytime you wish to read the blog, and it will tell you which posts are new.
