Google Reader {reposted}

Hey you guys! Lately, I have been getting a lot of emails about the Google Reader Tip I posted last year. So, I thought I'd better post it again for all my newer readers. After all, everyone should know how to use Google Reader's "NEXT" feature. It will seriously change your blog reading life.

The first step is simple. Just go to your Google Reader home page. Find where it says "Settings" and choose "Reader Settings" from the drop bar.

it may look like this:

                                                      
On the settings page, find where it says "Goodies" and click on that.


Scroll down until you see this:


Follow those simple instructions (drag that next image to your bookmark bar), and your "next" button will be ready to use.



See it up there? Now, all you have to do is click it once and it will take you to your first unread item in your Google Reader.


Click it again and it'll take you to the next new post in line.

Isn't that fantastic? Now, your favorite blogs will still be getting the page hits that they so desperately deserve, AND you'll be more likely to comment since you'll be seeing the actual sites. I'm lovin' this feature, and I hope you do, too!

Thanks for reading!

  3. FUN! But what does it say about me if I just am too exhausted with the internet to go do it right now?
