How Do You Read Blogs?

Put me in the category of "how do readers save time?" Don't have any tech that starts w/ "I" and I prefer reading on a bigger monitor, so bookmarks work just fine for me. (Also I use firefox and open in tabs so if a blog is old news, I quickly close that one.)

I use bookmarks. just like knowing which ones I want to go to. I have subscribed to emails too recently, but tend to forget to go and check.

I too use Google Reader. LifeHacker.com had a post in March in which they listed their top 5 favorite alternatives to Reader: http://lifehacker.com/5990456/google-reader-is-getting-shut-down-here-are-the-best-alternatives I've tried BlogLovin and don't like it that much but that's my personal opinion. I know several people that really like it. I've been meaning to check out the suggestions from LifeHacker but I have yet to do so. I have some blogs bookmarked - they're ones I like to check on now & then but not daily. I also follow some blogs, like yours, on Twitter, and know when a new post is up.

I haven't found a good way to read my faves other than typing in the address (usually after typing in a few letters the entire thing fills in). I've tried bookmarks with my iPad but that doesn't work well for me. I'm going to give feedly a try!

I have LOTS off bookmarks in the toolbar on my mac. However, I am intrigued by this Feedly that you speak of. Interesting....

At the moment I am testing Feedly and as Ali says it's great on the iPad I also have Flipboard which I real recommend ....

I don't think I know exactly what Google Reader does or if I use it! All of mine are set up as RSS feeds that are linked into my inbox on my Mac under RSS and I can see when any of the blogs are updated. I can then click over to that blog and read whenever I like. Are RSS feeds part of Google Reader?

You use a Mac I believe. You can add RSS Feeds under the Mail tab. It is the last thing before Print in the drop down menu. They are organized by blog and waiting for you to read them. No worries about it or other blog readers going away. It is part of your Mac mail system. Let me know if you have any questions.

I use Pulse! Love it!

I just follow a few blogs and have them bookmarked reading them on my computer. I guess that is the old way. :)

I use the RSS feed feature in my Mail program on my MacBookPro (no iPad yet, but my laptop is surgically attached to me anyway!). I also have some bookmarked in Safari for occasional reads.

I tried to use a RSS reader at one point but didn't hang with it. I use Flipboard on my iPad as I can see blog posts, instagrams, & twitter posts on it from each blogger or website I follow. It may not be the best bet but it works for me.

I'm using Bloglovin and I am pretty happy with that. I also tried Feedly but I didn't like the iPhone app. But since I am reading blogs mostly on my iPhone the mobile app is very important to me. So I tried Bloglovin, which has a very nice app.
I also subscribed to a few blogs via e-mail but I will change those to bloglovin too.

I've switched to feedly and loving it!

I use Bloglovin and I love it!!

I Bookmark some blogs and I use Bloglovin.

I subscribe via email so that I don't miss anything, but I love to read blogs on the actual website. I use my lunch break for this guilty pleasure full of inspiration! :)

I have been using google reader forever. I am just switching to feedly as well and do like the "look" so far. I admit thought that I often click over via twitter links too.

I have mostly been using google reader but now am bookmarking my faves until I find another reader I really like.

Thank you very much for posting this. Since I heard that Google Reader was going away, I have been avoiding searching for a new app. This has pushed me to research new options and figure out what I'm going to do. I love Byline but it depends on Google Reader. I'm going to try some of these suggestions and find my new solution. Thanks again!
