Blog Fog

Do you ever feel like you are in a fog trying to keep up all the different social media sites, people, blogs, and information that is out there?  How can you organize it all?  One helpful tip to get out of the "Blog Fog" is to join a Blog Reader that will "bookmark" all of the blogs you want to follow.  I chose to use Feedly because, for me, it was the easiest to figure out how to use.  I tried Bloglovin, but seemed to be having some technical difficulties.  I also tried Bloglines, but had a problem trying to add blogs.  Third, I went to Feedly, and found it easy to use.  Below is what I have done so far.  

Right away, I added some blogs that I was already familiar with because they are by professors at SHSU.  Dr. Perry and Dr. Lesesne stay busy with their blogs and other social media outlets they keep up with!  These two blogs focus mainly on book reviews. 

I was also familiar with "The Daring Librarian" through Twitter, and I like her insights and posts. Packed with book reviews, vines, and up-to-the-minute library and technology information.

YALSA is a" must follow" as a well-recognized YA literature professional library organization.  

OEDb was a Feedly suggestion, and I liked the variation of school and library articles it had to offer.  Posts included information about library news as well as technology.

As I was going through the different blogs, I also came across Dr. Perry's Tumblr. :)  And then I added a few "library humor" posts to my own Tumblr at annemwendel.tumblr.com.  I'll have fun adding to that one!
