However this has to be flexible because what with uni assignments and music stuff I don't always have time to write a good post, and I don't want to post an 'alright' one.<br /><br />I visit all the blogs on my iGoogle page first, then the ones I follow, and finally a bunch of others that I have bookmarked. I keep meaning to find feeds for them all, but it never seems to happen.<br /><br />I reply to all my comments individually on my blog since the new reply feature came in. Before that I just did them in batches.<br /><br />I'd say I visit around forty blogs a day on a good day.
