author blogs!
posted by Otis on March, 06
Now you can follow your favorite author's blogs on Goodreads! Each author on Goodreads can now add a fully functional blog to their profile. Goodreads members can follow as many author blogs as they like, and there is a new tab on the home page that shows you recent blog posts from authors you are following!
For authors that have external blogs, they can add the external feed of their blog and we will syndicate it to all their followers. For authors that aren't on Goodreads yet, their external feed can be added by any librarian. Syndicated blogs only show a snippet of each post, and of course link back to the original post on the authors site.
I think that along with this is going to be a pretty fun feature. I'm already following blogs for Neil Gaiman, Paulo Coelho, Cory Doctorow, Chris Anderson, and more!
Here is a list of the most popular blogs that have already been created.

I can't see how to do it? Was it easy and where is the function?
It's a great feature, but ... is there any way of stopping blog posts from showing up in my update feed if I so choose? I already follow the blogs I want to follow other places, and when I come to goodreads I really do just want to talk about the books. :-)
I love this feature and think that it's so cool that we can see what our fave authors are up to. Thanks! ^-^
So there's no way to turn the blogs off, if those on your friends list have them, so that they don't show up in your feed?
