Blogging 2.0

I started this blog a couple months ago when I began using the feed reader, as a way to keep track of my interesting finds and to prompt active response to them. Instead of doing that as much, I've taken advantage (possibly too much advantage) of the Clipping tool. It has allowed me to continue in the typical habit of "internet reading". I scan something, find it potentially interesting/useful, and "clip" it to read "later". That undefinable "later"...
Clipping hasn't served entirely as a deteriment though. I have found it to be a big help. First of all, in providing an ease of keeping track of sites that I have visited (see May 29th's post.)
But I am struggling with the bloglines blogging tool.. It's best quality is the quick/easy alignment with the feed-reader, allowing me to imbed the material I want to comment on, within my blog, and with one click! But that's where the "good" qualities end.
Unless I just haven't figured anything out (after browsing the FAQ, forum and google searches for about an hour), it's capabalities are minimal at best. When I finally figured out how to "edit" a post, I found that it redated a post to whenever I edited it. There goes my sneaky way of pretending like I don't ever make spelling errors.When I tried to retrieve a post I had "saved" to my clippings folder (the only way I could find to "hide" or "make something "private") all I could find was a blank entry. And while layout maynot be the most important thing - is there not even a background color option?
I could possibly be revealing my ignorance with these comments.. but if so, someone please help me??
And I really don't mean to complain. I love the feed-reader service they provide and that they add a blog to the mix. But the blog could do with a dosage of "user-friendliness".
That said, I'll make a new post as I change subjects to focus on social bookmarking. Yippee!
