If you'd taken a look at the links people have provided so far, you'd have noticed that none of them present images as thumbnails, and most of them don't require any reading at all. These are photoblogs, not necessarily "read about my life" blogs. I, for one, got tired of no one caring about my personal life a while back and now am content with no one caring about my photos. Now for some definitions: Blog: a frequently-updated website featuring lots of text about whatever topic the blog covers (be it politics, sports, or the author's growing collection of fruit bat stool samples). May include photos, videos or other media, but is mainly text. Photoblog: a frequently-updated website primarily featuring photos with either no text or small amounts of text. The photos are the primary reason the photoblog exists, so whatever accompanying text there may be generally serves to describe the photo in some way (tech specs, the story behind the image, etc). The photos are generally presented at a reasonably large size. My photoblog is an example of this (http://blog.neovenator.com). RSS Reader: a web browser-based application that takes RSS feeds from various websites (imagine a magazine sending out each new article individually in the mail as soon as it is completed, rather than you having to go to the newsstand to buy a complete issue each month. That's an RSS feed, except it's all free) and puts them all in one location. Google Reader is one of many RSS readers, and makes it infinitely easier for me to follow the dozens of blogs and photoblogs I follow. I just wanted to clear that up, even if you still aren't interested in following anyone's photoblogs.
