RSS feeds

I subscribed to MENC - a national site for music educators. I also subscribed to the staff picks. Google reader was easy to set up. I found it frustrating that when I actually clicked on a site I couldn't just go back to the list - I got kicked right out and had to log in and begin again. Maybe I'm missing something? I also found that I got sidetracked easily and spent too much time reading through various posts. I don't think I would use this. I understand that it could be helpful to stay current and perhaps I may find a site I'd like to have that connection to, but for me I find it faster to just go to the ones I'm interested in from my bookmarks.
