My RSS reading has been way behind for months now, coinciding with the long stretch of time I wan’t actively blogging. I’ve been try to get caught up (via Bloglines<\/a>) now for a few weeks now, but there’s still alot of feeds I haven’t read yet. Last weekend, after seeing Pwylla’s 9\/11 post<\/a>, I decided to link to it from my 9\/11 post<\/a>. Then I used my blogroll (powered by my Bloglines subscriptions<\/a>) to visit all of the blogs I subscribe to, looking for other posts to link to. In the process, I found a number of blogs not updated for months, and one or two sites completely gone.<\/p>\n

Since that time I’ve been meaning to prune my RSS subscriptions and clean up my blogroll. Finally got around to doing so. I’ve tweaked the categories a bit and re-ordered them. Reordering is always a pain in Bloglines- one of my few complaints about the site- you have to re-add items to their containers, which pushes them to the bottom of the list. Eventually, I got them ordered the way I wanted. <\/p>\n

I then visted each site to see if they still exist, are updating, and are still of interest. In the end I unsubscibed from a handful. I also created a new Bloglines folder “Silent” where I’ve moved sites that haven’t updated in several months or more. When a feed becomes active, I’ll move it to another folder. I made the folder private to keep it off the blogroll; I also tagged a couple of other things private just to reduce blogroll clutter (like software update feeds). The blogroll is looking much more svelte as a result. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
