Who among you loves to see updates from their friends? Blog hop? Thanks to Diane, who shared me this easy way to read my subscriptions easily. I created a bookmark specially for the “Bebots” category. It’s much easy reading their stories over their own site. Plus, I’m blog hopping randomly as well. Now, my reads is zeroed out. Hope this helps you as well.
Choose the best one for you. Mine is Trick #3.
Google Play is a new toy Google itself has created for Google Reader. It is an impressive way to view the more visual post items from your feeds.
Trick 2: Feedly
Feedly is an extension for Firefox, Chrome and Safari (it’s also got an iPhone app). What Feedly does is re-design the layout of your unread Google Reader feed items to make it look better in a way designed to be browsed in a leisurely fashion. It compartmentalises each of your folders, showing thumbnails and short snippets of the post with each of the titles.
Plus, Feedly features a couple of items at the very top with large thumbnails in a semi-magazine style. It also links into your Twitter account, making it easy to share the things you find.
Trick 3: Make “Next Bookmark” Toolbar Buttons
These “Next Bookmark” buttons are easy to set up, but people seem to forget they exist. Head to Google Reader and click on “Manage Subscriptions” in the bottom-left corner. Click on the “Goodies” tab and scroll down. You have the option of making a simple “Next” button or to choose a specific folder and create a “Next” button for that folder only.
Thanks to this article too 
Now enjoy reading your reads dear friends.
It was 17 days ago when I expressed my happiness that my blog leaped from PR0 to PR2. And then this evening, a friend tweeted that Mr.G has made some updates again, and now this blog went down 1 rank. Huhuhu! 
I feel so sad. Sad because I only enjoyed the rank for only 17 days. Yet still happy at least 1 is better than 0.
Having to work on increasing a blog rank is a tough thing to do. Especially for a SAHM like me who accept works online. Never the less, I’m still thankful. Alhamdulillah, Thanks be to God always for the chance to write up.
For my fellow mommies who has an update with their ranks whether an increased or decreased, carry on.
Earlier this year, I found out that 3 of my Twitter friends are due the same month when I was still pregnant with Julie. Then came 2nd quarter of this year when 2 of them announces that they are on the way. Maileen for her 2nd baby, and Trinity for her 1st baby. And then yesterday, another one is blessed for the second time, my favorite digital scrapper Diane. We’re all so happy for her and we all pray for a safe pregnancy. There’s one more person we’re all waiting to be blessed, hopefully this year these lovely couple will be blessed soon. Always whispering a prayer for her. It’s ironic how we evolved in Twitter. Twitter babies, coming up. Hooray!

I can’t help myself not to blog about the reason of giving me a heads up for this month. For the first time ever in my whole blogging life, after 2 1/2 years of maintaining this blog, I’ve finally reached a PR2. The highest rank so far. I thought I was dreaming when I checked my rank at one of the sites, so I decided to check it again in another rank checker. And voila! It really is a valid PR2. I still remember the first time G gave it a PR1 here.
So so so happy! I showed it to my husband. And even though he’s still in the process of understanding the blogging world where I am, he just said “Congratulations Sweety… Keep it up…” — another reason for me to be happy (well he always makes me happy and he supports me working on with my blogging life).
Thank you Mr G. Even though you decreased a rank on my food blog, I still thank you for updating the rank of my fashion blog as well. Insha Allah I can maintain this rank.
…except for the photo.
As I’ve said I will change it once I’m able to make a photo shoot of my kids. But for now, I’m happy with the result of the design. Credits can be found at the footer of this blog.
So there you go. I just created a new header for my blog. I’ll be changing the primary photo. I’m planning to put a photo of my two girls, but right now I don’t have a good photo of them together. I’m planning to have a photo shoot for both of them by next month. I just hope that I can have a good lightning. So for now, I placed a photo of my now 3wks old baby Julie.
I’m so sorry for not updating that much. Aside from pregnancy mood swings, I have a big problem right now with my other blogs. Which in the end is making a negative impact with the rest of my blogs – a totally NOT A GOOD SIGN at all. I have like a thousand unread reads on my Google reader I feel so bad for not doing my same routine – blog hopping that is.
But the good news is that I’m still active in Twitter and IG (though our internet is very very very slow now a days). I’m still keeping up and is on track with it. Flickr account is still active too. That reminds me, I need to update my 365 days project.
Blogging mojo, please come back soon.
Heads up bloggers. Read on and hope we all learn from these tips.
