Musings on a Small Life

A quick note to say that since I already subscribe or follow all the cat blogs under my "Fuzzy Tales" account, I've unsubscribed or un-followed (most of) them from my personal account. So if you notice one fewer follower, that's probably me, though "the boys" will still be following. It just seemed silly to have the duplication, and I've noticed that a couple of former cat blogs have been taken over by uh, less than appropriate (IMO) content. BTW, if anyone is having a problem managing their blogs via the Dashboard, as I have under my personal account, it's related to the now-defunct Google Connect. Google has been giving me an "unable to connect" error message for ages now, as it has for many others. I finally found a link (not Google's) that explains how to get around that: http://www.villageidiotsavant.com/2012/11/managing-blogs-in-googles-discontinued.html *Comments are off*

I read and comment on the blogs I follow and subscribe to via the Fuzzy Tales account, using Google Reader. I took time yesterday and this morning to go through all of the subscriptions, one by one, and delete those that haven't had a new post in at least several months (barring a couple of favourites, with the hope they'll return...like Trish's. Hint hint.). One blog hadn't posted since 2009, several since sometime in 2010, many since spring/summer 2011. And quite a few cat blogs no longer exist. I also deleted a couple of subscriptions to active blogs that I've routinely commented on, with never a comment from them in return. That's okay, we can't be appealing to all. But I'm not going to use my commenting time on theirs anymore. So I've gone from about 430 or so subscriptions to 336, though I don't think this counts the blogs I actually follow via Blogger (and still keep up with via Reader). Still, I feel a bit lighter in spirit, if not in...
