How do you organize your blog feed?


Hi there!

From time to time I stumble on some great blog or personal site and it inevitably gets lost after a short time somewhere in bookmarks. Also given the size of social media flood like Facebook/Instagram/YouTube feeds I tend to forget that somewhere on the net there was a really cool person whose content I really enjoy.

Does someone has a solution for that?

In my "urls" I have things organized like so:

Using the tags feature it groups the feeds together https://i.imgur.com/KrzzaBP.png
