Week 4, Things 8 & 9

A little frustration this week trying to set up a bloglines account. I never received a confirmation email (despite repeatedly checking my email account and returning to bloglines to request that a new confirmation be sent), so I couldn't get the account up and running. I moved over to google reader, which is easy enough to set up (and which I'm sure means that the next time I check, the confirmation from bloglines will be sitting in my inbox). I now have feeds coming in from YALSA, AASL, and SLJ as well as some news and weather sites. I think the SLJ book news feed could be helpful - I might be able to stay more on top of all of the new books coming out if I don't have to wait to find the time to read through all of the issues of the magazine that pile up around my desk. However, part of me thinks that I just won't find the time to read the feed either. It will wind up sitting around waiting for me to find a spare moment just like the print version does.
