Using the Blogger Reading List

With the Blogger Reading List, you can read all of the latest posts from your favorite blogs right on your Blogger Dashboard! Your Blogger Reading List, conveniently located under your list of blogs on your dashboard, enables you to subscribe to any blog with a feed. It will update instantly each time a new post is published on any blog in your Reading List. Additionally, you can check out our latest Blogger Buzz posts from the "Blogger Buzz" tab, and the latest Blogs of Note from the "Blogs of Note" tab.

It is simple to add a blog to your Reading List. First, click on the "Blogs I'm Following" tab under "My Reading List" on your Blogger Dashboard.


Then, click on the blue "Add" button in the bottom left corner of your Reading List.


Next, insert the URL of the blog you'd like to follow in the URL box. You can add as many blogs as you'd like by clicking on "Add another". When you have added all of your favorite blogs, click the orange "Add" button.


You'll then be given the option to either follow publicly or privately:


Once you've decided on following publicly or privately, click the orange "Follow" button and that's it! You've added all your favorite blogs to your Reading List! Now, every time one of the blogs are updated the latest post will be displayed in your reading list under the "Items" section.


Additionally, adding a blog to your Reading List will create a subscription to the blog in your Google Reader account.

How to remove a blog from your Reading List

To remove a blog from your Reading List, go to the "Blogs I'm Following" tab under your Reading List on your dashboard.


Then, click the blue "Manage" button. You will be taken to a page with a list of all the blogs that you are following. To stop following one of the blogs, click the trash can icon next to the blog you want to stop following. You will instantly be removed from following the blog and it will be removed from your Reading List.


You also have the option to change how you'd like to follow the blog (publicly or privately) from the drop-down menu.
