Subscribing to MommyLife - what works for you?
Hey Barbara,
I go to your web site multiple times a day (for over a year now), and have finally wised up. I am starting to subscribe to those blogs that I repeatedly check to find new posts. However, I have no idea how to subscribe to your blog. I tried to find a link (or something), but I probably missed it. I tend to peruse quickly, and then look like a dope because the information was right there. Anyway, any info you can give about subscribing would be appreciated.
Just thought I'd throw this out to see what is working best for MommyLife readers.

I personally use bloglines.com -- I have used google reader but I like bloglines better.

Scroll down to the bottom right and near the bottom there are some orange buttons for either subscribing in a reader or subscribing via e-mail.
Personally I just use my blogger dashboard.

Google reader and bloglines both have a widget you can drag to your toolbar that is "Subscribe Now". So when I'm on a blog I want to sub to, I just click that bookmark button and I'm all set!
It does make it a little too easy to subscribe to way too many blogs... LOL!

I use Google Reader. I didn't know about that widget. I just copy and paste the address into the Google Reader "add a new subscription." The widget sounds easier. :)

I subscribe via the RSS feeds on the right hand side bar, just pick whatever program you use...I use yahoo. That way I can just click on which story I want to read, and yes, It is normally each and every one!

I subscribed using the RSS feed buttons in the right side bar (they are kind of far down, and not easy to see right away). I really appreciate when blogs, like yours, have lots of reader options. I use google, but lots of blogs only link to Bloglines. It's only a couple more steps, but I am sometimes less apt to subscribe if I can't just click and be done with it.

Most RSS readers don't require you to actually know the url of the RSS feed you want -- you can just put in the main url of the blog and it will automatically find and subscribe to the feed.
