If you click that there is an option to hide unread counts- you can hide just the total at the top next to "Home" or you can go down to the part where it says "Subscriptions" and it'll hide all of them. I like to leave them showing on the individual blogs, but hide the overall total. It's all an illusion, but it does help with the stress! There's not a number staring me in the face all the time, and it's easier to read at my leisure.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-20412993854368613462009-01-05T13:17:00.000-06:002009-01-05T13:17:00.000-06:00Hi Lisa,Happy New Year!

Both those things hit me wrong. I thought you'd have to be a pretty lousy ghostbuster to just walk away and leave the ghosts behind, but I also thought it was strange that she said ghosts hang out together but don't intermingle. That didn't mesh with what most people say, that a ghost returns to the place it considers home or where the person died. <BR/><BR/>She also said most ghosts are harmless, but then she went on to say that most of them are angry so you have to be careful. It doesn't make sense to me that an angry ghost that can push people down the stairs is harmless, you know?Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-81985538069068229232009-01-03T12:02:00.000-06:002009-01-03T12:02:00.000-06:00I didn't know you'd read the Echo Bodine book.

The one thing that I really love is that you can save a post that you love, so you don't have to print it out or remember to go back. I've hit "star" on quite a few recipes, lately. <BR/><BR/>You would be horrified to know how many posts were loaded to my reader by 7:00. 100!!! I decided I'll go through and remove bloggers I really don't know, later on, but in the meantime I'm automatically deleting all challenge posts and things like Friday Finds, which don't really interest me. I really just like the reviews and chatty posts, more than anything. <BR/><BR/>Talk about rambling. LOL Wild that you haven't had a drop-off in traffic at B & N. I hope you get a nice, dull day sometime soon. Just one.

I like to click on my bookmarked blogs (using Firefox's tabs so I can open 6 or so at a time) and simply read what I can when I can. If I had a list with that many waiting to be read, I'd be too overwhelmed and unplug the computer, possibly forever. Somehow, not knowing how many posts are awaiting my perusal works better for me. Often times, I'll read 2-3 posts on one blog then move on to the next. I have a few blogs I check every day - yep, yours is one. :)<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the ramble. I'm wiped out after another long day/week at B&N. We've been swamped for the past 2 weeks. No sign of a recession in Lincoln, NE! I'm ready for things to settle down next week.
