Blog reading crossroads
I'm a Google Reader user. I love having lots of lovely new blog posts sitting waiting for me when I log in. But Google Reader won't exist after 1 July.
I've been looking at this article, trying to choose a replacement.
Everyone who has mentioned it to me has moved or is moving to Feedly. I can't (at the moment) because it requires Chrome or Firefox (and I don't know what they are or what to do with them because I am such a computer dunce) so I am preferring the option of keeping my head in the sand and hoping that it is just a dream...and that I will wake up in July to find that Google Reader is still here. In the meantime, I have placed most of my favourite blogs in my favourites list. And may end up having to access them in the old fashioned way of clicking onto them individually. Mx
Feedly sounds good, thanks :) Meredith, I recommend switching to Chrome. It's not that different to Internet Explorer (both my mum & Dave's are coping with it), and unless you've got a super-fast computer you'll probably notice a speed increase.
We would love to know what you think of this post.

I moved over to Feedly and it's worked really well.

ReplyDeleteI too have just switched to Feedly too - makes it much easier to share posts on social media which is a good thing.
