Like Scott, Richard, and Ton, I am able to check on the blogs I follow from the blogger dashboard, but I find I do not use the dashboard everyday (only log in occasionally to update the blog), so that won't do. Besides, as Cameron points out, it is only for Blogger blogs and not WordPress or others. <br /><br />Sophia and Jason - thanks so much for Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-53819457068915422112013-03-17T19:02:24.727+01:002013-03-17T19:02:24.727+01:00I've never used Google Reader, my blog list on...I've never used Google Reader, my blog list on dashboard is good enough for me.<br /><br />I would have swiped that Olympia poster!Ton S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/10691201724230891974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-3450796294835226832013-03-17T17:17:23.918+01:002013-03-17T17:17:23.918+01:00Like Sophia mentioned, give Feedly a try.

It isn't as elegant as Google Reader, but it is much better than relying on the clumsy directory pages etc. <br /><br />Digg is apparently creating an equivalent service, so you might be able to transition to that. Outside of that, if you use an iPad, there's some great RSS reader apps that you can use. <br /><br />Scott Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243020164163596709noreply@blogger.com
