Alright, I'm geeking out for a little bit. This post will be about the different ways you can connect to other blogs and stay up to date on posts that a published. Specifically, I'll focus on the ways you can employ the "Blogger" website to follow blogs.
So what are the steps?
Step 1:
Simply go to the blog that you want to follow and click on the "Join this site button" underneath the "Followers" widget.
Step 2:
Once you click on the tab, you'll see a pop-ut. Click on the "Follow this blog" button. You can either follow publically or privately.
Step 3:
Next, you'll return to your blogger dashboard. You can get there by typing in: www.blogspot.com and logging in if necessary. You'll see your reading list, which will display the blogs that you currently follow and the most recent updates for each blog. Voila one way to keep track of everything!
Step 4:
While still on the dashboard page, you'll click on the dropdown box of the blog you want to add your list of blogs you follow. You'll click on the layout tab and will be taken to the layout of your blog.
Step 5:
From that point you'll click on the "Add a gadget" link on the sidebar of your blog layout. It will allow a pop-up window to appear. You'll scroll down to the app. called "Blog list" and click the add button.
From here you'll see another pop-up window where you can configure you're list. You'll click on the "Add to list" button.
You'll see yet another pop-up window where you can add links to your blog list. To make things easy, simply click on the "Blogs I'm following" tab and a list of the blogs in your reading list will appear. Then all you have to do is click on the blogs you want in your list and hit "Add"!
After that window closes, make sure you hit the "Save" button.
And Voila! You have a widget of all the blogs you follow available on your blog!
Pretty cool right?! Maybe? Sorta?

Alternative Following Methods:
There are several other ways to follow blogs as well and I'll go over them quickly. You can scroll to the bottom of someone's blog and select the "subscribe" link available there. This will allow you to see updates they make. You can receive updates in your e-mail and even on your desktop! Or, you can share your blogs on Facebook and Twitter by having the link to your blog exported after you post! Further, you can also use the "Networkedblogs" app. available through Facebook. Pretty cool right?! Maybe? Sorta?
