I need to work on weeding out some of the blogs that I follow that are turning out not to be that relevant to me. When I first started reading blogs about a year ago I did not have a clue how many were out there and I just added everyone to my list. Now I realize I should have been a little more selective and need to take on the task of deleting some. As far as giveaways go I love them and have won some amazing things but I have finally stopped entering every one I come across. I have even stopped trying to go to every site in a blog hop as it is just too much. I really appreciate your insights on this.

I'm giving Bloglovin a try and see how I like it before the big change.Needled Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749314475716010490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990831574131918668.post-5122580166180805022013-03-18T11:24:40.886-04:002013-03-18T11:24:40.886-04:00As a person that directly reads every blog I follo...As a person that directly reads every blog I follow (not through any reader because i like to leave comments -- as you know they can be lengthy) I can appreciate what you are talking about here. My problem now is there are a few blogs that I have repeatedly tried to unfollow (through the google reader) and for some reason can't seem to get them off my follow list. I noticed that three of the ones I am trying to remove are sites outside of blogger. Do you have any tips? I also wish there was a way to group blogs together into categories (kinda like on Facebook with your friends lists where you can see all your family in a group) so if I am strapped for time I read the ones most important to me first. There might be a way I'm just not super savvy at this yet.

As you know I am running Feedly and Bloglovin to see which I like best (strictly as a reader). So far Bloglovin seems to be the one I keep going to first.

I particularly enjoy following new blogs with few followers, I like to watch them develop and grow and I know how much I appreciate every new follower. <br /><br />I'm always put off by giveaways (never offered one myself) it seems to be a technique used to quickly build a following - personally I just want people to follow if they like what I write. <br /><br />Additionally, if someone follows me then I follow them back (sometimes this is tricky as not everyone links their blog to their Google Friend Connect profile!) - I like to get to know my followers better, it tells me a lot about my own style and who my audience is. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.com
