I just came back from Penang!
And well, I use Bloglines, and never had much problems with them. I recently explored Google Reader and found that there’s no way one can “mark all feeds as read”, but Bloglines does have that. It comes in very handy especially when you’ve just returned from somewhere and don’t feel like reading the whole past week’s news

I have Paris Beaverbanks on my google reader. Sometimes it’s rather slow, but I find it really useful, since I have so many blogs to visit!
But talk to my hubby, he can read blogs and be more updated than me WITHOUT a reader!

PB says: Yay! I have GT on mine too. Gosh your hubby must know which sites to hit at what time!

Use firefox lah! It’s much cooler, I think! After I switched to it, I never looked back.

PB says: That good eh? Shall try then

What browser do you use?
This is what I do with IE [actually discovered this while clicking around, so have no idea whether it will work for you:-)]

When you click on the orange icon to subscribe to a feed, below all the icons, you see “View Feed XML”, click that, that brings you to the feed of that blog, you just click “subscribe”, it will be in your browser, and the blog will be downloaded and highlighted when updated.

I actually had a hard time finding the “feed” after I have done the above. SO I might as well tell you this: you can find your feed in the explore bar, side by side with “favorite” and “history”.

It works on Firefox in similar way.

Happy feeding!

PB says: Thanks Leah. I think it might be because you are using IE7. I upgraded on another comp but hate it so much (it was very unstable) I refused to upgrade the rest of my IEs.

I think I’m the most kiasu – Safari RSS at home on Mac, Bloglines and Google Reader at work! and you know what? I don’t even have time to keep up with all of them, LOL!

PB says: LOL!! You got all bases covered! I’m still struggling with Google Reader and seeing if it works. I still like going round though.

Mark me down as a bloglines guy. But it can be slow if you wanna play the chup game. So I have to set up elaborate regression analysis to play. And the result is no chup points for May at any blog.

Would like to learn more about RSS too.

PB says: So would I. So far google reader seems pretty ok if slow in loading.

My Apple Safari’s RSS works pretty well, but sometimes it goes bocor too.. but I have no complains. I still manually call round anyway, just in case someone sneakily updates..

PB says: LOL at bocor. You are learning hehe…

Wah! You got my chicken rice review on the feed image! LOL!

I use livefeed from my firefox browser. Very easy…just see the new titles coming in. And this blog of yours is subscribed as well. So, I am one of your stats!

PB says: yes yes! Must plug the nice chicken rice! I don’t use firefox coz I got too lazy to learn up another new thing. Yay for stats!
