I used the award winning blogs to thumb through instead of just using Google to find any blog there is. I am very interested in literature so I looked up a few blogs dealing with that topic. I found a great one. http://blog.schoollibraryjournal.com/heavymedal/2011/10/03/good-mocking/ 
I think Syndic8.com was the most confusing. They style of the website was much older than what I am used to. I used the predetermined bundles in Google Reader which was actually very useful. I found some new blogs that I am going to enjoy reading.
