I keep my iGoogle much the way you described but I do use it just to get at the actual pages.. Gmail & Google Reader in particular. I quite like how the Reader is layed out and the changes you can make to the settings. You might want to explore that to make it more suitable to your preferences. It can appear pretty much like it does in iGoogle with the right tweaks.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-64643059278423858852012-07-09T21:16:12.324-05:002012-07-09T21:16:12.324-05:00I confess I've never even heard of iGoogle! Ho...I confess I've never even heard of iGoogle! How do I keep up with my favorite blogs? I don't! I'm always trying to play catchup. Mostly I read those who have left comments on mine... that's tough enough... then once I'm caught up there, I use Google Reader in an extra tab. I'm a tab person, too - my email, Facebook, blogs, etc.... I like Beth's idea, too, but I have a tough time keeping my blogrolls up to date!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074104063769255190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-13050967683975036332012-07-09T18:23:25.166-05:002012-07-09T18:23:25.166-05:00hi you :)

My computer of six years died along with all my textures, brushes, photos...pretty much everything I hadn't backed up yet. In a sense I'm starting all over again. Ugh. But...on the flip side, I have a laptop now, so I'm no longer chained to my desk. It turned out well!!! :) Hope it does for you, too.

I also, use iGoogle as my homepage, but rarely look at anything else on it except my email.

I always first look at blogs from my comments (if you visit me, I will visit you ;>)...and then when I have time I go to the Reader to catch up on news and entertainment blogs and favorite photo bloggers who (for some silly reason (;>)) haven't commented on mine lately! When I get way behind I love the Reader because I can just glance at what I missed and then pull up one or two posts from each blogger to comment on.
