Ah, moseylissa, you seem a rare breed.

I can only say my own commenting and, as importantly, reading of comments in my feeds has increased radically since switching to Bloglines Beta.

I just suffered from laziness and impatience with loading tabs, etc. Wish I were more like you - but glad Bloglines lets me have my lazy cake and eat it (effortlessly) too.

That’s what the right click –> open in a new tab feature in both firefox and IE7 is for. I frequently comment and follow rabbit trails in blogs and can’t imagine having to go back 15 times to get to my iGoogle page. Maybe I’m just tab happy.

I also take the time to go back to posts I’ve enjoyed reading (many of yours included, Clay) to check in on comments. But then again, I’m compulsive like that.

So no switching for me, but I’ll definitely put it in my list of iGoogle alternatives for when I teach it again.

PS…Hi from Salem where we still have snow at 1000 feet and it’s frozen to the valley floor.

Know what else is funny, Scott? I originally wrote, “How can you go a week with Scott beaming at you?” etc. Should have been (now is) “without”.

Tee hee.

This may be the bump needed for me to switch from GR. You and Derrall are on to something with that bit about RSS laziness. I think the laziness flows in the other direction, too. I’m a prime example of the lousy/lazy blogger who barely gives the time of day to layout, visual presentation, and all that widgety jazz. For me, the text-centric display of the RSS reader has been a comforting crutch. When I was in the classroom, my bulletin boards were pathetic. But, hey, what belongs on display is students’ work, not mine, right? It’s gradually dawning on little dull me, thanks to some good examples out there, that presentation IS important. So just as I’m thinking about ringing in the new year by spiffing things up, and maybe even a complete template overhaul, there you go putting my beaming self up as an example. Too funny.

Your comments about beating RSS laziness ? Spot on, as usual.
