Hi everyone, Science Freya here again…
Today’s Science blog was inspired by Jasper McKitten-Cat.
You may be wondering how Daisy and Harley manage to read and comment on EVERY Kittie blog in the Kittieverse…. ??? Well wonder on, because even very clevver Science Kitties like me wonder that too!
But for mortal cats like us, we have to use something called a reader. I haven’t tested every reader in the kittieverse, but I can tell you how I do it…
Whenever I’m sitting at Daddycat’s computer, I have a bookmark at the top labelled <NEXT> when I click that, a new unread blog (that I’ve previously subscribed to) opens. I read it, maybe comment, and then click <NEXT> again, and a new one opens up!!
Easy??
To do this, I use something called google reader. Whenever I see a blog I like, I copy the address (such as http://freyacat.co.uk) and then open Google Reader, and at the top left, I click <add new subscription> and then paste in the address.
Easy peesy!
To do the magical <NEXT> button trick, open google reader, and click settings
and then goodies.. (I like that word!)
Finally, drag and drop the word Next>> and drop it into your bookmarks toolbar at the top of your browser!
Easy peesy, Lemon Squeezy????
From now on, if you ever see this picture at the side of a great blog,
you can just click it, and you’re subscribed!
If you do get stuck, let me know, and I’ll come to your house, and sit on your lap and show you how to do it. (unless you don’ t live next door, in which case, leave a comment!)
So!!!…. Try it now, – click Add Subscription, and ADD
http://Freyacat.co.uk!
puhleeease???

You are so smart! Thanks freya
Hi Freya
I read about this on Jasper McKitten-cat’s blog today and just had to come over and get the details. We’ve set it up and will try it. Thank you so much for the help.
Pee ess- Hi! I don’t think I’ve ever visited before!
We use Google Reader. It’s great, except we subscribe to so many blogs (what with my personal interest blogs and Mummy’s) that every time we go into it there’s at least 100 entries to read! If we leave reading it for a day or so we get quite a backlog. But, it’s the best way of keeping up with what everyone is doing!
Good job, Science Freya! We use Google Reader, too, but we did not know about the “Next” feature. You are smart! I like that.
ps: Of course, we are already subscribed to your blog!
Excellent lesson, Freya! Whitey already uses Google Reader and it is Easy Peasy! Mom even has folders set up so all the Cat blogs are in one folder, Photography in another, Humor in another, etc.
Thanks for the quick lesson, Freya. We use Google Reader too, and like Misha we have lots of subscriptions so even if we don’t leave a comment on everyone’s blog, we still have a good idea of what’s going on by paging through the reader.

This is a furry good artickle. I’s put it on tha CB so all tha cats an critters can see it.
Fanks, you’s furry smart.
Very good advice Freya!
Wow, we were doing it da hard way! Thanks Science Freya. Mom wants to know if you’ll come sit on her lap even tho she figgered out how to do it. We don’t lap sit when it’s hot outside.
Call me stupid, but I don’t see how to comment in reader….DUH on me.
Thanks you! we made it through our reader faster than ever! We added you and the Next button!
Very good! We will try this – and you will be the first site we will subscribe to!

Hey Freya,
About your comment, I know, not the best picture. Today we’ve been quite lazy. We appreciate your honesty!!! Have a great weekend Freya!

I use google reader too and have not used the next feature. But I kinda jump up and down the list to read different kitty blogs, so I don’t think I want to use the next. If I want to leave a comment on a blog, I have to click on the blog page to open it, and it opens a new window (usually) and then I can leave my comment, close the window, and go back to my reading list.
::Claps Paws with Joy:: I use a reader but I had no idea!
Where did you get those neat buttons for google and feeds? We’re going nuts trying to figure this out. We started setting up GR yesterday and we’re still working on our list. It’s tedious! And we’re kind of tech dummies.

Hi Freya, I think you look very purrfessional in your science outfit. I really dig the glasses! Snap!
