Typically I look in the morning and then again at night, but no real set schedule. I should probably use a more efficient method of finding new posts (google reader/dashboard, rss feeds, ets.) but I've stuck to just clicking round the blogrolls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-55628401474926640072011-09-16T06:12:48.858-07:002011-09-16T06:12:48.858-07:001.

There are some blogs that I read every post, and others that catch my eye. There are a few blogs I check regularly to make sure I didn't miss a post with my less-than-perfect reading method.<br /><br />2. I usually read on my iPhone on my commute to work in the morning, and if I don't finish my 25 most recent from my blog roll, I'll read real quick when I get to my desk at work. I usually get in early so have a little time to myself before the day begins. I'll usually check once or twice at work - most days I eat lunch at my desk so that's a good time to look. I also usually check from my phone once or twice at night.<br /><br />3. I have over 120 blogs on my blog roll. There are some I don't miss, but it's impossible to read and keep up with everything. I'm sure I miss some great content.The Lost Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281282785351456790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-45436146685620453352011-09-16T05:49:58.027-07:002011-09-16T05:49:58.027-07:001.

I used to use the Google Dashboard exclusively, but I follow so many card blogs (over 300 -- yes, it's a sickness) that the Dashboard can't handle it (wimps!). So I have to go to my blogroll and click through them from there.<br /><br />2. I do most of my reading when I get up (very late in the morning or around noon) and when I get off work (after midnight). Once in awhile, I sneak in time in the mid-afternoon or a periodic peak at work. Reading on my phone is a real pain.<br /><br />3. Over 300, baby! I have to skim some because there's so many. But there are a few I always read no matter what.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-7622547873400190452011-09-15T22:45:13.808-07:002011-09-15T22:45:13.808-07:001) I read them through Google Reader, mostly.

And like Dimwit, I use the app to read when I get a chance in other places, mainly slow periods at work. I have 148 card blogs and 27 sports related blogs that I read daily. But I didn't know you could put twitter feeds in google reader, I must go investigate. I might have to email Dimwit if I can't figure it out.

I used to subscribe to well over 100 but a lot of those were one-off contest subscriptions or stuff I stopped reading as much over time. The 32 I have now are the 32 most interesting to my personal tastes - doesn't mean they're the best ever (though Night Owl, Cardboard Junkie, Mojo Beard, and Nachos Grande obviously rule) but it does mean I always enjoy reading their stuff.
