How Do You Read Blogs?

I just switched from Google Reader to Bloglovin' and love it!

I was using Google Reader (I'm guessing it's the same as iGoogle?) and was really disappointed to hear they were discontinuing it. I subscribe to a lot of blogs so having them in one spot is nice. I tried Bloglovin but didn't like the list format. I also follow a lot of blogs by email, some I have in iGoogle, some I don't mainly because I don't want to miss content.

I've used bloglovin' for a couple of years and it works ok. But I also have blog list on my own blog that I use daily for my favorites. Will most definitely check out Reader/Reeder,Byline and Feedly. Bloglovin on the Ipad isn't great...

I am trying Feedly and not sure that I love it enough to say that is the one I will be using. I plan on trying out a couple more and then deciding as we still have a few months before our beloved "google reader" goes away.

I have been using bloglovin' for a while and it is super easy and functional - I recommend it. It has an option to divide blogs into categories so you can read what you want when you want. I used bookmarks but then I would get sad when I opened a page and there were no new posts.

Ive been using google reader - thank you so much for sharing feedly my godly goodness that was so easy to set up and i love the look and layout. yay Im swapping over....this will be around after google reader disappears wont it?

I love Bloglovin' because, unlike a lot of other readers, I can visit the actual sites rather than just see the content of posts. You can miss a lot if you're not viewing the site as a whole!

I have been using google reader and I have been in a panic as to what I was going to use!! Glad you posted this. Off to try out some of the readers listed!!

I was a Google Reader addict. I got alllll of my blog reading done through there. It's so nice to just go to one place, so I was devastated when we got the news it was closing. I too have switched to Feedly and I like it a lot. I feel like I am able to get through my reading in less time. A tip on how to subscribe to new blogs on there once reader shuts down can be found on this teacher tech blog I read: http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2013/04/how-to-subscribe-to-new-blogs-in-feedly.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+freetech4teachers%2FcGEY+%28Free+Technology+for+Teachers%29#.UV13lRml2Uc

Enjoy!

I've set up a separate blog on blogger that has no content, just several blog lists on the sidebars. That way I have the various blogs categorized and blogger bumps them to the top of the lists when there are new posts.

I've been using Bloglovin for some time now. I generally view bogs on my phone or on my desktop. It works fine for me, though sometimes it takes a while for new posts to show up in the queue... Bloglovin is how I know when you have new posts!

Mine are mostly bookmarked. There are a few I get via email.

Old fashioned here too...I just bookmark them. But now that everyone is talking about Feedly I will check it out.

Yes, I am old school as well. Bookmarks on all devices.

I have a LOT of blogs saved in Reader. Some I look at every day and many that I don't, but I have them when I'm in the mood. I just downloaded Feedly yesterday. It's working so far. I hope it works on it's own when Google Reader goes away, because right now it seems like it's just feeding through Google.

I used to use google reader but they are discontinuing it. Feedly is set up to make a smooth transition and I am loving it so far. I also put some blog feeds on my home page which is ighome.com which is also a substitute for a discontinued google product igoogle.com. With feedly I get a blog post title, with ighome I also get a pic and I have a separate "page" for art stuff so it can be organized.

i just add favorite blogs to my reader on my own blog (using blogger.ca)

i get updates when i feel like checking them out, and not get my inbox inundated with email updates.

love it.

I've always been the one who actually logs onto a blog to read it. Even if I email subscribe, when I see a new post I click to the blog to read. Feedly looks kind of neat though, I might have to check it out. Do you know if it reduces the page count on those blogs though?

Bloglovin and posts on Twitter are my favorite way to keep up to date with my favorite blogs.

I'm using Feedly now as well. Love it! I would love to read on my ipad, but I so often want to pin things and haven't figured out how to do that on the ipad. Does anyone have any tricks for that?
