This morning I took advantage of several Google Reader features. For awhile I've wanted to list the feeds (blogs or really any sort of RSS based content) I read on this blog its self. At the moment I have 51 different feeds streaming into Google Reader, nearly more than I can effectively take in. I add and delete on a somewhat regular basis and I like the idea that the right hand information bar of my blogger page will now update to reflect these changes.
Additionally, after some deliberation, I've made my "friend" tag public, if you, friend, would like to be removed from public display of your blog title I'll happily take your link off the public list.
To get a bit technical, here's what I did:
I made both a public and a private tag in reader. Everything except for content I want to be private is tagged with public and you can see the entire conglomerated feed here. I then made each tag that I use (less private) public by clicking the little broadcast button next to the feed name. I then clicked the "add blog roll" button to generate the script that I then inserted into a blogger HTML "section" adding breaks between each rolls script. I could have just added the public tag but I like the feeds split out by category.
