Not too long ago, I made the startling discovery that I could spend hours and hours on the internet without having any idea about how much time was passing by. Just getting through my daily roundup of wedding photography blogs, wedding inspiration blogs, and photography blogs (let alone the wonderful links that these blogs provided to other gorgeous dresses or amazing lighting techniques!) and pretty soon three hours had passed. And then I’d go back to my favorite blogs again, just to make sure I hadn’t missed a pictures of some fabulous looking letterpress…and then another few hours would pass…
Rather than facing the possibility that I might have a serious blog addiction problem, I discovered the magic of blog readers. In one fell swoop, I could go through all of my favorite blogs, in one spot, and never be in danger of missing a fantastic image or idea again…and I might actually be saving some small bit of time going from website to website.
There are lots of Reader websites out there, but if you have a Google account, Google provides a great and easy to use reader at www.google.com/reader. When you get to the opening page, go to the column on the left, where you’ll see a button that says “Add a subscription.” Click on it and you’ll have the option of pasting in a link to an RSS feed.
You can find RSS feeds by looking for a link to an RSS Feed on your favorite blogs. Copy and past the link into your reader, and you’re all set. You can see the content from all your favorite blogs, and the reader will continuously update your reader with new content from the blogs.
Here are links to feeds from some gorgeous wedding inspiration blogs to get you started:
