I recently moved Tim Calhoun's site to the "Non-blog" list when he announced that he was going underground with password protection. That hasn't happened, so I'm moving his blog back to the main feed.

Tim is without a doubt the most prolific moblogger on the list. He's faster with that cellphone than Wyatt Earp at the OK Corral.

]]> Stop the Scrolling! tag:www.survance.org,2007:/hsblogs_news//2.20 2007-03-05T05:51:57Z 2007-03-05T06:35:26Z If you're reading this, I hope you're enjoying Hobe Sound Blogs, but you're not enjoying the best this site has to offer. If you're reading the main page directly, then you probably feel like you're scrolling more than an Old Testament scribe, especially when there are a bunch of photos. The Best Way to Read Hobe Sound Blogs

If you read all the blog entries on the main page of Hobe Sound Blogs, I hope you're enjoying the site, but you're not enjoying the best this site has to offer. You may feel like you're scrolling more than an Old Testament scribe with ADD, especially when there are a bunch of photos.

That's because Hobe Sound Blogs is designed to be consumed via a "feed reader", sometimes called "news reader" or "RSS reader". My favorite feed reader is Google Reader. It's free, very easy to use, and web-based, so you can check your feeds from any browser. Using a feed reader like this allows you to view new weblog entries much like you view new email. New entries are highlighted in your "inbox" so you can scan the subjects, click on the ones that interest you, and mark the rest as read.

Here's my typical view of Google Reader. Read on to learn how you too can stop scrolling.

To add Hobe Sound Blogs to Google Reader, simply click on "Add Subscription", then type in this web address:

http://www.survance.org/hsblogs

Of course you can add any feed you want to Google Reader. Once you get the hang of it, you'll never go back. Enjoy.

A Note About Photos, Slideshows, and Videos

Many of the Hobe Sound Blogs entries contain photos and video clips. Unfortunately, these photos and clips don't always show up on this page, or in our feed, due to the wide variety of blogging systems and media formats. So if you see an entry that looks very cryptic and doesn't make sense, it's probably because you can't see the rich media that it contains. To see the media, simply click on the subject line of the entry and you'll be able to view it in the author's weblog.

A link to Jody (Valenzuela) Luck's blog has been added to the "Non Weblogs" link list in the right sidebar. The websites on this list are either not weblogs at all or, as in Jody's case, the lack of a working RSS/Atom feed prevents me from automatically including entries from the blog.
