If you really enjoy reading blogs - whether about dance, education, design, food, or parenting - the website Bloglovin can help you organize your weekly reading. It visually looks like the Twitter stream of posts, but with pictures and more text. I find it to be visually organized and easy to navigate.
A simple 5 minutes can get you started.
1. Go to the website.
2. You will have to sign up (no cost).
3. Then, search and select the blogs you want to regularly read. My list includes my own blogs, plus the following:
- Dancers Using Technology
- Life as a Modern Dancer
- Dancing Words
- ArtsJournal
- Dance Advantage
- DanceBeat
- DanceTabs
- danceviewtimes
- movement research
- Stance on Dance
- From the Green Room: Dance/USA's e-journal
- Edutopia
4. Last, I bookmarked the website for easy access. I usually try to look at it one or two times each week.
You will also receive an email in your inbox once or twice a week. Simply click on it, and it will specifically go to your stream of blog posts. I find this much easier than getting RSS feeds (and about 50 emails) in my inbox each week.
There is also an app you can add to your device if you like reading on your phone or tablet.
