I manage by not managing. I have not used Google Reader for months. I prefer to visit blogs individually. I think I must have about a million unread posts.

thanks heaps for the tips.. I might just export my current subs into google and have a play.. I already have gmail and use the docs every now and then… so it can’t be that hard can it? LOL

Kate - I haven't used blog lines, but I have read posts from many probloggers who use Google Reader and find it the most efficient reader that they have used. Another aspect that I really like about Google reader is the integration of products. I have set up a gmail account and access all my emails through this, to access my reader it is one click away, as is Google Docs, which I use so that me and another user can update a document together. If you are switching from another feed reader, you can import your existing subscriptions into Google Reader. To do this, you first have to export your subscriptions in a standard format called OPML. You can find instructions on how to do this here. Trish - List view is fantastic. You can still star items just by clicking on the star on the left had side of each item.

I forgot about list view …I am having trouble keeping up with 100 plus blogs and it takes ages to read or *blush* mark them as read even if I haven’t.
I am off to empty my reader…not yours off course.
Can also still favourite star the ones you want to come back too ? in list view

ok so convince me I should switch from bloglines to google reader?? I love my bloglines.. it is comfortable and safe feeling… but I am beginning to suspect that google reader might do more for me… but it is a bit scary when I go look at it. Is there some nice easy beginners guide to convince me to switch?
