Alternately you can browse thousands of other blogs to find a new favourite.

How do you follow blogs?
Do you know of better Readers out there?
I prefer Bloglovin', as it integrates well into the Chrome browser - a little button is next to the address bar telling me if there's any unread blog posts. Super handy! x
ReplyDeleteOooh that sounds handy! I might need to instal Chrome then! xx
DeleteI'm using Blogger.. Is that the same as Google? So confused. I use Chrome daily.
ReplyDeleteI really like bloglovin.. didn't know you could import from google reader so thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteYeah you can! I'm doing it right now. It's a bit slow, but at least I don't have to do anything besides click a couple of buttons :)
DeleteHmm, so what about the last few non-tech savvy dinosaurs, such as myself, who still actually read blogs on their Blogger dashboard?! Will that be affected too?
ReplyDeleteHi babe, at the moment it shouldn't be affected and blogs you follow will still show on the dashboard but it's best you get yourself onto a reader as I just don't know what Google will do next!
DeleteThanks for the info I have been stressing a bit over this!
ReplyDeleteI will use BlogLovin more now I think. Why do they give us things and then when we start to use them they take them away.

Yeah I don't know what Google's up to, always removing things just as people start using them! First they got rid of the GFC widget for non-Blogger blogs, now getting rid of their reader. Well Bloglovin is pretty good, so Google's loss is their gain :)
DeleteI decided to try some new apps. If interested, you can check it out on: http://anewleaseoflife00.blogspot.com/2013/03/goodbye-google-reader.html
ReplyDeleteThanks I'll look at it right now!
DeleteAw, this inhales vigorously! Everythig has to always change. I am a bread and water type of person so all these different following sites are...ehhh...Blahh! Thanks for confirming the end of service.
ReplyDeleteLOL, you'll be fine, just inhale/exhale and you're ok!
DeletePS Google has been making far too many changes for my liking lately, hopefully they won't do anything bad to Blogger as I'd hate to have to move to another blogging platform. xx
I love Bloglovin!
ReplyDeleteI'm still getting used to Bloglovin, but it seems very easy to use!
DeleteGreat post, there was so much confusion over this on Twitter yesterday!
ReplyDeleteHope this clarifies things a bit. :)
DeleteThis post is very helpful! Thank you Lilit!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Ty!
DeleteSuch a helpful post, I didn't realise you could import :)
