Google Reader Made Easy

Google Reader is an amazing tool! Can you imagine trying to look through twenty of your favorite websites each day or each week to find what's new and trying to remember what you've already read? Google Reader does this for you!

Go to www.google.com/reader, sign up for a Google account if you don't have one, take a tour if you wish, and start copying and pasting the URL's of your favorite websites, blogs, and more into Google Reader. From then on just go to your reader and all of your websites will send YOU anything new! It will also keep track of what you've read...

...now you've been using Google Reader for a while and your twenty websites have turned in to fifty, one hundred, or even more! It can be a little crazy because there's so much good stuff out there!
