I panicked because I had neglected to copy all the addresses of the blogs I follow. I was pleasantly surprised when Bloglovin found all my blogs and imported them for me.

As usual, I must be behind in technology. I have my favourite blogs on my sidebar of my blog and then have a list of others bookmarked that I check in on. I am probably doing it the hard way.

Since I follow over 200 blogs (of course I could never read all of them every day), I zip through them quickly. I put the ones I want to read on my sidebar. I'm a Mac user and have this nifty little pair of glasses to the left of my bookmark bar. All I have to do is click on that to see what reading I have or to add to my list. The only reason I mention this is that now that I'm using Bloglovin', ALL of the icons are for Bloglovin' rather than the blog icons I'm used to. I'm sure I'll get used to it---I have to. You know what they say about "old dogs....!"Barbara Eadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05428834142056450340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-75068987093379263532013-03-18T11:10:26.658+00:002013-03-18T11:10:26.658+00:00I've used GR quite happily, since I started bl...I've used GR quite happily, since I started blogging, and not sure what to change to.

Once I got over the initial shock, I've tried Bloglovin, which I thought was fine, but then I put Feedly on my iPad and I might be hooked on that.

It's obvious many of your followers use it, and what's more important than that? I've tried a couple of services already. Newsblur looked good but it charges $24/year for premium access (only 12 feeds allowed for the free account). Right now I'm alternating between The Old Reader and the Reader element of WordPress. Neither one is exactly what I want tho The Old Reader is closest. My biggest problem with it is that it doesn't seem to work with Internet Explorer. So, I'm off to check out Bloglovin'--thanks for the recommendation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-30798573367734584022013-03-17T22:58:47.064+00:002013-03-17T22:58:47.064+00:00I don't use Google Reader, I never liked it.

Until this post I'd mostly been hearing about Feedly, but one of the things Feedly doesn't seem to do is let me go into the blog. (I use the "next" button on reader) But Bloglvin seems to do this, thanks for the suggestion.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153240666977146369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-64216030386590059232013-03-17T18:27:40.896+00:002013-03-17T18:27:40.896+00:00I just learned last night that google Reader is cl...I just learned last night that google Reader is closing and I was so disappointed.
