Goodbye Google Reader...Hello Bloglovin' & Hello Cotton

 
Source


I know everyones Google Reader is full of posts about how Google Reader will cease to exist as of July 1, 2013 & GFC will probably follow shortly after, but here is my post anyway :)

My face was pretty much like the baby's above when I found out that Google Reader was no longer going to be available. This is my favourite way of catching up on the 120+ blogs that I follow and now I am going to have to learn to use a new format and try to love it as much as I adore Google Reader :(  Also knowing that I have to start all over when it comes to followers is also a let down as my little blog here just reached 100 followers.

So in order for all of you lovely ladies, to continue getting my posts I encourage you to sign up for Bloglovin' or Hello Cotton and follow me there. I have links in the right sidebar that will lead you right to my pages there.

I personally would suggest using Bloglovin', as once you sign up you can easily import your Google Reader list and you are instantly following every blog you already do via GR. All you need to do is follow the steps below:

1) Go to the Account drop down menu in the top right corner.
2) Click on A General Question
3) Click - How do I import blogs from Bloglines, Google Reader, etc?
4) There will be a link in the drop down that appears. Click that.
5) Click Google Reader Button and follow the steps from there.

Voila! All your blogs are there and you don't need to spend hours searching for every blog and following them!

I hope to see you all over on Bloglovin' or Hello Cotton before July 1st!

Leave me a link to your page on Bloglovin' or Hello Cotton and I'll be sure to follow you back!
