As I am currently in Orlando attending the SITE 2006 conference and a little of FETC, it is a time of a blog post surge for me, to be sure. One thing to note on this is that I am really not blogging just for other people. I would say at least 50% of the reason I am blogging is for personal / selfish reasons. I find that I refer back to my own blog all the time (using the Wordpress search feature), because if I heard about something and blogged about, then I have a digital representation or archive of that thought I can refer back to later.

So, I do feel your pain Will! I have wondered if I am silly to keep adding RSS feeds to my own bloglines account, I went over 200 feeds awhile back. There is no way I have time to process all this content. Unfortunately, my email is somewhat similar, although I do try to keep up– but when I get behind it can be almost impossible to catch up at times….. I guess my advice is, don’t sweat it if you miss some posts! The conversation is non-linear and hyperlinked… I don’t think any of us can truly “keep up” with it all!

It is the effort that counts. We cannot be perfect. But when we sit down to read, I find that reading bloglines is more bang for my buck than even reading the Wall Street Journal or educators magazines. Worse case, I use the search feature and search through the blogs I’ve subscribed too.

I always have some must reads I try to hit every day. In fact, I think you’re one of them. Thank you for an excellent blog. I’m glad you’re not overly prolific!
