I use Google Reader to keep up on blogs and today noticed a new feature of "recommended" blogs for me. They were mostly other 4Real bloggers! Kind of creepy . . .

I have used both, but I like Google Reader better because of the "share" feature it has. However, now that I closed my one blog at homeschool journal, I am not quite sure how to put it on my blogger blog....

I've never used anything else, but I find Google Reader very easy to use. It's the least distracting way to keep up with more than two blogs. Maybe my subscription list will get longer with this new reccomendation feature!

Laura,
If your google reader and your blogger blog are set up under the same "google account" (the same email) then it is super easy! Go to reader and click on the left where it says Shared Items. In the right window it will then say "put a clip on your site or blog". Click there, set it up to look like you want, then click the new "add to blogger" button. It pretty much does it for you!

ETA: I just popped over to your blog and it looks like you figured it out already. Nevermind then!

Glad you got it to work.

Amy,

Thanks!
Right after I posted, I thought to myself, "I should go figure that out.."

And it WAS easy, you are right!
