I’ve Switched. . .

 

To a new blog reader!  Since I learned that Google Reader and Google Friend Connect will be going away in July I’ve ‘kept my ear to the ground’ for good recommendations for a new way to read my favorite blogs.  One of my dear blog friends told me she had switched to Bloglovin’ – and she loved it.  A few days ago I read another blogger’s recommendation for Bloglovin’ and I decided to check it out.  It didn’t take me long to make up my mind and it took less time for Bloglovin’ to import all of my favorite blogs from Google Reader.  Now I’m a happy reader once again because I know I can read your blogs until long after July has come and gone!

If you’re not familiar with Bloglovin’, here’s a bit of information so you can check it out for yourself.  It’s a blog reader that has the same features as Google Reader, but it's an updated version in some ways. It has a "followers" widget that counts who is following you! It will even send you an email each time someone follows you, if you want it to!

Here’s what my ‘home’ page looks like – simple and easy to read.  When I ‘click’ on the post title it opens another window and – voila – I’m right there in your blog.  I can read and comment to my heart’s content!  I like the simplicity.  It’s clean and neat and it’s easy to catch up on all of the posts I haven’t read on your blog.

So far I’m happy with Bloglovin’.  I haven’t had any problems and I think it’s a good solution.  I love the clean look and the easy way to add blogs to my list.  I'm glad I have a way to stay in touch with you!  You'll be hearing from me soon!



(I've added a 'Follow Me on Bloglovin' button to my sidebar if you'd like to follow me there.)
