How I read the web

I use (and pay for!)  Newsblur  – A newsreader for  feeds  (AKA an RSS reader).  

Here’s what I did to make it look more like Google Reader:  

Under Preferences/Feeds:  

• List layout  

• Feed view  

• Newest first, unread only  

Under Preferences/Stories:  

• Wrap story content at 700px  

• Show the entire story even if really, really long  

• Only show comments from friends (Until there’s a block user functionality!)   

• Disable the highlighter  

On the “Style” bar at the bottom:  

• Top  

• Single story  

• Auto/Medium  

If there’s a free  substack  newsletter you like, you can read it by going to the author’s  substack  and adding “/feed” after the .com. Paid posts will show up with a “Read more” after the first sentence, and you will need to login to substack to read the paid post.  (So  https://thewhitepages.substack.com/  becomes  https://thewhitepages.substack.com/feed ).
