The Next button has changed my BLOGGING life! Pardon my french, but now that I have added it to my Favorites bar, I find it much easier to read and comment on my favorite blogs.
Don't get me wrong I didn't mind Google Reader, but I have a love/hate relationship to it. I loved that you could read blogs quickly and when your time is limited that is a plus, but if you want to leave comments... Well that takes more time that I don't always have.
I hate that Google Reader has made me a horrible comment poster. OK, maybe that isn't Google Readers fault. Maybe I am just lazy, but you must admit it can be a pain to scroll back up after you just read a post, to click the link to get back to the original blog post, then scroll back down to the end of the post, you just read, and leave a comment. Phew! That was a long winded sentence, but you catch my drift right?
Beside I am a visual person and Google Reader is drab and boring. I would must rather read through my blogs on bright colorful pages filled with crafty delights and useful links.
If you want to add a NEXT button to your Favorites Bar check out this tutorial I ran across on Clover and Violet.
And because every blog post needs a picture....
Check back soon to see what I have done with these cute little postage stamp blocks....
I too added the "next" button, and I love it! I SO prefer to see each blog in its proper element instead of google reader!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for that info!! I too was doing all that scrolling to leave comments while using google reader. I really like the Next button!!
ReplyDeleteSo brilliant! Thanks for sharing!!! I had no idea you could do this, it makes for such a more enjoyable read when you can see the beautiful pages that bloggers like you work so hard to create. And I love the little postage stamp blocks!
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I think my favorite part is what google writes when there are no new posts for you:
"Congratulations, you've reached the end of this internet. Look for another?"
Thank you! So much better!
ReplyDeleteJust did this myself...thank you!
