How Do You Read Blogs?

I use Reader and feed it to Flipboard to view the Blogs in a Magazine style. I love Flipboard, and must find a way to manage the blogs like Reader allowed me to do. I'll have to check out Feedly, but I must admit, I'm really sad Reader is going away! One thing I love about Flipboard is that one of my "magazines" is dedicated to Google Reader and then I have others (yours included Ali) that a set up that give me updates as soon as the site is updated. I love it.

email

i have to check my email daily and love having everything in one place--then i can just click at the bottom if i want to visit the blog

I need to try feedly or reeder .... I honestly use facebook where I follow bloggers I like & follow the link if it pops up & is interesting & bloggers I am following closer or more frequently I tend to keep an open tab for them.... totally clutters up my internet though.

I'm using Netvibes, which is like Google Reader but isn't like Feedly in that it's not a browser extension.

Thank you so much for asking this question! I have learned so much from reading the comments that I simply would never have known were it not for your question. I have a list in blogger that I've been using, but I really wanted a way to read them on my Ipad, and Blogger wasn't doing that for me. Now I'm all set to go. Thanks so much!

My blog has a sidebar that I told to list the blogs in chronological order -- who has most recently posted and how long ago. At a glance I can see who has updated recently.

good suggestions here, I'm very sad reader & igoogle are going, I find them so easy to use. Why are they taking it away??? a couple I have looked at already are aimed at the US market & dont work well for us here in Oz, hoping Feedly is the go

I read blogs via email, look forward to receiving new posts!

Thanks to a blog post by Leonie Dawson I found out about BlogLovin. Migrated my google reader settings quickly and easily. So far I am loving it - I receive an email every morning with new blog posts (this gives you the title of the post and a line or two from the post). So I just click on the blog posts I want to read and it takes me straight there. Super-duper easy-peasy.

I still use the bookmarks in Firefox. It works for me so I haven't changed, it's part of my early morning ritual. I have a folder within it for favorites that I check everyday. The rest are listed alphabetically. I try to go through them once a month and delete any that don't interest me anymore.

I've used Google Reader to read blogs for many years. I recently read it was going away and switched over to Feedly. I'm liking it so far :-)

Blogs I read are posted on my blog. So when I go to my blog each morning, I just click on my blog feeds and read, read, read!

I use Google Reader exclusively {and have been for 7 years}, and I am very disappointed at Google's decision to dismantle the service. I tried Feedly - but I haven't given it a fair shot, honestly. I have thousands of blog posts that have been sifting through Reader with tags in them - e.g. lime, coconut for coconut lime bread - so if I have a taste for something with lime in it I click on my lime tag and I can browse through those recipes. I haven't figured out what the corresponding trick is to keep all of these tags in Feedly. Can anyone help?

I've looked at Old Reader also, as I heard it had more of a Reader feel to it.

However, I'm just dragging my feet right now, mumbling and grumbling at Google, and wishing that until they pull the plug entirely they would leave it listed in the MORE toolbar on Google.

I'm contemplating breaking up with Google entirely - they keep pulling great products off the web and keep {ones that I think are} entirely stupid and useless ones.

Argh!

I moved over to Bloglovin.... and I'm lovin' it!

I've switched to Bloglovin'. It's good because I can read new posts in the Bloglovin' frame. This means that right now you have two new posts I haven't read and, at the top of your blog, the frame says I'm reading 2/2 and I can go to "Newer" or "Older" posts.

I'm not explaining it well. You'll just need to try it!

I read my blogs on Flipboard on my iPad. Love Flipboard.

I rotate blogs that I read each day by adding them to my Morning Coffee Firefox add-on. Each day another bunch appears. Others, I subscribe to their email updates...

I just go directly to the blog website. I am sad that Google Reader is going away. I sometimes use that.

I'm Feedly too because of Peppermint!

Anther old fashioned bookmark girl here too. That way I done have to redo when things Go away or change up.
