Loving Technology

February 3, 2011

I’m still having major issues trying to upload images into the site, which is driving me bonkers! Whenever I attempt to add an image, a little box comes up and says, “Are you sure you want to do this?” Well, yeah, I want to do that! But it still won’t let me. Grrrrrr….technology.

But I’m not going to let it get me down. Instead, I thought I’d do a little intro to subscription readers like Google Reader, which is my personal fave, for those of you who aren’t total blog fiends yet.

See that little button on the side under Facebook and Twitter? The one that says Subscribe? If you click that, it brings you to a page where you can click on the drop down menu and choose a reader.  Once you get yourself all set up with a reader, you just subscribe to From China Village and it will alert you when there’s a new post.

There are several different readers you can choose from. I use Google Reader because I have Gmail, and I like the way it looks and functions. But you could use any other reader and it would do basically the same thing.

My favorite parts about using a reader is that you never forget which blogs you like! When I first started reading blogs more seriously about a year ago, I would find one I liked and then forget about it as soon as I clicked out of the window. The genius of Google Reader is that I can subscribe to blogs and it keeps a nice, neat list of them for me!

Would you think I was a huge nerd if I told you it’s one of my favorite things to do when I come home from work? I especially love when there are a whole lot of new posts I can look at while I have a cup of coffee and relax for a few minutes.

Now, if you click on the Lovely Links page on this site, up there in the menu bar, you’ll find a whole bunch of the blogs I subscribe to in my reader. But beware, they’re so lovely they can suck you in and before you know it, your house is a mess, the cat hasn’t been fed, and the husband has no clean underwear! Eek!
