(Further) Confessions of a Blog Addict

Last month, I confessed that I have a blog addiction. I'm happy to report that I am managing my addiction, and I now limit myself to just 30 minutes of blog reading each morning. In that short time, I always manage to learn something new and get my creativity going for the day. Apparently, I'm not alone. Many of you shared your favorite blogs with me, so this month's ResearchNOTES highlights a few more of these guilty pleasures...

HELLO, my name is BLOG! (http://hellomynameisscott.blogspot.com/) is written by a Scott Ginsberg. He wears a name tag every day (yes, every day!), and he
writes about "The Power of Approachability."

Go to Lifehacker, at http://www.lifehacker.com/, for "tips and tricks for streamlining your life with computers (and sometimes without.)" It's not just fortechies.

Speaker and author John Jantsch's blog is called Duct Tape Marketing, at http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/. He always has great ideas for small- business marketing and somehow gets me motivated.

Subscribing to RSS feeds of your favorite blogs helps you keep track of and read new entries. I couldn't find a clear explanation of what an RSS feed is and how to use one until I took a look at the video, RSS in Plain English, at http://thecommoncraftshow.blip.tv/file/205570/.

See you next month - Marcy
