There are millions of blogs in the blogosphere. It is impossible to manually keep a track of all of them, not that there is any reason for you to keep a track of all of them…unless, of course, you are Technorati.

Yet, in your travels across the blogosphere, I am sure, you must have come across blogs that you liked. You feel that you would like to come back to the blog another time and read the latest that the blogger has to offer. What do you do?

Subscribe to the RSS feed : One of the easiest way to keep track of a blog is to subscribe to it’s RSS feed. These days almost every blog has one. If a blog does not have one, more likely than not, it will not be a blog that you would want to keep track of.

The problem here lies in choosing a suitable feed reader. I have not yet been able to decide on the best tool to be used to aggregate feeds from various blogs.
Which one do you use, and what do you like, or not like about it?

Favorite, or bookmark it : Another way to keep track of a blog is to add it to your favorites or your bookmarks. But, I feel that this method becomes unwieldy as the number of blogs you have bookmarked increased. I don’t usually bookmark or favourite blogs, but I think this method also does not tell you when a blog has been updated.

Blogroll it : Another traditional method is to create a blogroll where you can add the blogs you like, and visit them at your leisure. If a blog stops updating, or starts posting about things that do not interest you, it can be taken off the blogroll and in it’s place you can add any other blog that you might have taken a fancy to.

Remember it : The last, and I am sure the least preferred, way is to simply remember a blog’s URL and visit it whenever you want. This is, of course, is not an easy way.

How do you keep track of your favorite blogs? Do you use one of the above methods? If yes, then which one do you prefer over others? If no, then what other method do you use?
