Well luckily i am learning alot from you and often you make me laugh out loud… Bonus!

Another reason to read a blog is to find other blogs they link to

Finding that sweet spot of new information at a level you can understand (that you’re also interested in) can be tough, and sometimes it’s worthwhile to hang on to an old subscription you’ve outgrown in the hopes they’ll link to the next level up soon.

I often read just HOPING that I will see something new. Because I am kind of pathetic that way.

I read most blogs via RSS. After I actually do learning something new, I move that blog to the top of the page I’m reading from. If a blog has dropped to the bottom, it might be time to drop the blog.

I do have problems dropping blogs that I love just because the writer no longer contributes. Maybe they will magically start writing again. It does happen sometimes. Probably after 6 months, though, it’s time to give up.

I do read this one (one of less than ten total) every day, because you do make me think, even though I don’t always understand, you do entertain, you are NOT Doom and Gloom (no more than me) you are living a lifestyle I am pursuing with greater haste, and, well, I just like the way you think and write.

I have a lot of blogs that I skim in Google Reader. Some of them like Lifehacker publish many things that don’t interest me but several that do. Being able to skim through them quickly helps.

I also segregate my blogs into units so I can focus on one subject at a time. Finance, economics, sports, technology, etc. I have very few that are in the read every day category but a lot that are in the read every week category.

When they don’t publish for a long time, nothing shows up so I don’t have to read them

I do like this site because it is very different from the traditional PF site. I think reading different things helps us to expand our minds and grow. But many times we need to cement the basics too or we forget them as time passes by.

Very true.

After a while your curiosity is satisfied and you feel you’ve learnt what there was to learn from the blogger, so you move on. Another cause may be a less fruitful period for the blog (we all have our ups and downs) so I’ll check back after some time has passed.
