Well kids, Google Reader is what you've been waiting for and Matt Singley at mashable.com shows YOU how to use it like a Rockstar.
H1N1 was enough virus for us all. Not needing to download software reduces your risk of infection. Simply sign in using your Google Account. Don't have one? Click HERE.
Singley describes how to add the blogs you already follow. He also lists some useful keyboard shortcuts so you can quit wasting your time on the tedious stuff. Check it: Using "J" while in Google Reader will automatically skip to the next unread item. No Rockstar has time to spare so "J" stroke all the way baby!
Need something to read? No problem. Follow "Browse for stuff" and search away.
Too much to handle? Create folders to keep your information under control.
If you really want to get fancy, Singley addresses customizable options and even shows you how to share your impressive webbified duds with your friends.

Ginger, it seems like just yesterday you asked if using "pain in the RSS" and "j stroke" were inappropriate, but I still love this blog post. It's catchy, cute, and concise, especially for a normally dull topic like RSS feeds. I found the screen shots to be a good way to demonstrate the simplicity of RSS feeds and how Google Reader works, and I love the "rockstar" element. Great post!
