May 7 ...

7 days I've been blogging?
7 days have already gone by in May?

I had high hopes of giving you a "Ten on Thursday" list, but it's been a long hard day (without anything to really "blame" it on) and I'm mentally drained ... so instead of ten things, I'm going to leave you with this "tip" I've been meaning to share for quite some time.

How many of you use Google Reader? Well if you don't, you should ... if you read more than 5 blogs that is ... It's a great tool to keep all your blogs in one spot, organized alphabetically, by most important, by color, you choose ;). Now if you use Google Reader, how many of you have found that you've gotten a bit lazy when it comes to commenting on your friends blog (uhm yes, that was me). Well lazy commenters, you're about to run out of excuses ... let me introduce you to Google Reader's "Next" feature. I LOVE this. I added it to my Bookmarks Toolbar (where I keep my everyday used bookmarks) and now it's a Potpourri of reading. I never know which blog I'll get next from my list (it pulls the most recent first) and the best part, it opens the blog, not just a reader window ... so you can comment quickly, easily and click "Next" and you're on your way to your next blog.

Happy Thursday ... I'm looking forward to Friday!
