It used to take me quite a long time getting to the end of my Google Reader list, but ever since I have started my French blog, it takes me even longer and sometimes, I feel like the little boy on the blaugh comic.
What is an RSS reader? A very complicated name to call software that warns you when a blogger on your list publishes something new.
I’m probably oversimplifying but better simple than impossible to understand.
Do you use an RSS reader? If you do, which one do you use

I used “Bloglines” and yes, it takes a long time. Still, most posts can be read right within Bloglines itself (without having to go to the blog itself) which DOES save time. Commenting here for the first time, by the way. I first discovered you through your wonderful photographs on Flickr.
I don’t use an RSS feed mainly because I was not aware of it. I just go to the blogs on my favorites list every day or so. I am sure the RSS feed is much quicker.
I do use RSS, but didn’t realize there were dfferent kinds. How doyou know what kind you are using?
I use Bloglines, and I have noticed recently that they are not always correct. They sometimes show an update for a post I have already read, or conversely, don’t show me it is new -when it is. It is frustrating!
I used to read via Bloglines, but it wasn’t working properly so I switched to Google Reader.
I installed a plugin that is supposed to NOT ping the RSS readers when I’ve edited a post, but it doesn’t seem to work! My site pings regardless!
And I know what you mean when you say it takes a long time to get through the feeds. I think I should start culling my list.
I use Vienna. It’s a free RSS reader for the Mac (as far as I remember, you’re a Mac user) and it works extremely well. Tip: use the wide-screen view.

Tut-Tut, you probably mean that your blog has a RSS feed. Which means that it can be read and subscribed to by software or sites like Bloglines or Google Reader. If you were using a RSS reader, you would know which one.
It happens on Google Reader as well. I think it happens when the author of the blog modifies the blog. Then it gets re-published, and you get to read what you’ve already read a second time.
