Tour of Clay Focused Blogs (semi-complete), part 5

I have once again updated my blogroll of clay focused blogs. It's getting loooong. But I seriously do read all of these blogs. As I have mentioned before, I use a blog reader, Google Reader, to keep track of my subscriptions. I could never actually keep track of all of these without it. I also use Google Reader to create my blogroll over there in the side bar automatically. If you're a blogger and you'd like to do this on your website, check out this tutorial. Or if you're want to do it a different way, you can try this.

There are lots of updates in this list. I've removed some that haven't been updated in 7-8 months+, plus added all sorts of goodies. Every week I'm finding new blogs. I'm often surprised when I come upon a 'new' blog that has actually been around for several month. Why didn't I know about it? If I'm missing something, let me know!

Since I'm a big advocate of using a feed reader, I will give you a reminder of how to set up this list in Google Reader:

3. Figure out where the downloaded file is located. (for PC users) Right click on the download and click on "open folder containing." That will tell you where the downloaded file is located


4. Click on "Manage Subscriptions"

I forgot to mention this in my previous post about my new website. If you have a link to my website, would you mind updating it from sodafired.com to emilymurphy.com. And of course my blog address is potteryblog.com. Links are always appreciated :)

I hope you don't mind my heavy posting this week. I've been traveling a lot this summer and I have been writing, but I haven't always had the time to complete a thought, edit or ability to upload. So I have a back log of partial post. I'm leaving for Berlin and Amsterdam in less than a week and I want to try to get as many finished and posted as I have time for.
