A few months back, Caleb at the FightWorks Podcast posted about how to share his RSS feeds using Google Reader. If you haven’t done this yet, take a minute and do it now, then come back. Really. Not using an RSS reader is like not using soap after class.

I’ve been playing around with the Blogroll here at Stevebjj, as well as a list to the left of articles that I’ve enjoyed in particular (also available here), or that I want to be able to go back and read more thoroughly at a later date.

While I think I’ve got it all sorted out, in the process I unsubscribed to every bleedin’ blog I like to read. Seriously. I crapped my pants… and it may have had something to do with deleting my blog feeds. Maybe not.

Anyway, what I’ve got on that blogroll is a collection of high quality blogs I could painstakingly recreate from memory and from Caleb’s largely still up to date RSS List.

If anyone sees any blogs I missed, please let me know. I’ve got it set up now so that when I subscribe to a blog in Google Reader, they’ll automagically be added to that list. That blogroll accurately reflects the blogs I actually like to keep up with.

Conversely, if you don’t see your blog or one that you know I’d like, it’s not because I don’t like you. Let me know and I’ll add it, because if it’s not on that blogroll, it’s not on my RSS list and I’m not getting updates.


Don’t forget, if you’re looking for BJJ gear, check out Razorback Jiu Jitsu. Douglas sells the full range of Atama gear, including the Mundial #7, and if you use the coupon code “STEVE” you’ll save 15% off of your offer.
 

On a non-BJJ training note, along the left bar of my blog is a header: “What I’m Reading Now.” I have been using Google Reader for a while to organize my RSS feeds. Since Caleb, at the Fightworks Podcast, shared his list of BJJ blogs, I’ve been in hog heaven reading everyone’s training stories. One of the features available on Google Reader is the ability to “share” certain posts. So, as I read something that resonates with me in a particular way (like The Approach to Competition posted by ThailandBJJComp), or that I agree with but don’t necessarily want to post about in a “me too” kind of way (like Brock Lesnar Steamrolled Heath Herring posted over on Bloody Elbow), I can share it and it will show up in that list.

If you’re ever interested in what posts on other blogs are catching my attention, check that list out.
