Sharing sorted out, sort of

Being somewhat doltish, as Patrick Kurp self-deprecatingly and incorrectly said about himself, I did not quite get the Google Reader "share" feature that James so patiently explained to me. But now I do get it. You'll see in the "My links" section of the left-hand navigation bar a link called "my Google Reader shared page". This is a page that anyone can look at, and is a list of all the posts on everyone's blogs that I've subscribed to and read in Google Reader that I've found especially interesting that day/week/month. So, if you want to read what appeals to me, go there. You can also subscribe to it in your RSS reader (I think). So there you have it, the mad scope of Petrona's interests, laid bare for you to see.
My famed and numerous other blogs are mostly like this (some of which have been languishing unloved for too long) -- quick and magpie-like. Librarian's Place is an index of articles sent to me mainly by Dave Lull. Web Writer is an index of articles I find that provide writing advice in case I ever get around to writing anything. Petrona selection box is an index of book reviews I read that persuade me that I really must read the book. Maxine's book reviews is an archive of my own reviews of books I've read. All these blogs are not really "blogs" in the sense of Petrona, but are ways to store and tag all the fascinating articles I find out there on the wonderful Internet. Please share any of them with me that also take your fancy. You can reach them all via "Maxine's weblogs" or "My links" in the left-hand sidebar. (And some other "messing about on the Internet" sites can be found by clicking there, too.)

My God! You have more blogs than I do!!! Now I'm confused... How do I get to 'Petrona's Selection Box'? Can't find it in the links? Why not have a separate link to ALL YOUR links? I've always had troubel with LONG alphabets!

Delete last question/comment (or post this post-script)!

Doh! got to 'About'! Roight? Yep! There they ALL are!

The thing is, my mouse-technique is so lousy that I THOUGHT I'd clicked on 'About' when in fact I was clicking on 'Email me'... Oh, dear...

I have been looking into that too - you've helped my illuminatin so thanks ... sometimes it takes me a while, but I get there as the snail said to the bolt of lightening. (Where did that come from? - it's late1)

Thank you Brian -- I must try to make the sidebar a bit clearer, having "my links" and "maxine's weblogs" is a bit confusing I can see. I'll try to change that a bit --- at the weekend! I will also look to see if I can do a combined link to all these blogs-- brilliant idea,but not sure if I am up to it technologically speaking!
Yes, chiefbiscuit, snails and bolts of lightening, that explains it so well.

Actually, I think it's a left/right thing with me - I was gioing up and down the RIGHT-hand margin and never even once looked on the LEFT! As an excuse, I'll put it down to the fact that I've got a one-margin blog!

[Maxine]

I had only one margin for a while, but I am such a squirrel that I ended up with it so long that you had to go to Australia before you read it all! So I switched to two margins. I will have to try to get the clarity sorted out though, "the user rules" in my opinion.
