Google Reader no more?

by - 3/14/2013

FYI: This is going to be a rant. If you don't want to read this, then don't.

For those of you who haven't heard google reader is retiring on July 1st, and while there are a lot of good alternatives to what you can use, there is nothing that compares to the original.

As far as I know, you can still read all your blog posts in your blogger dashboard. Not that I suggest any of you do that. As far as I'm concerned, Bloglovin, will become my new google reader. I went through two hours of sorting all the blogs I read yesterday on that platform.

For those of you who only read blogs, and don't comment I would suggest The Old Reader. It's basically the same as Google Reader, the layout anyway, and I feel like it works pretty well. Unfortunately for now they won't allow you to import all of your blogs at once, so you will need to manually import all your blogs. Which is a bitch to me, because having to import every blog by their URL is a tiresome ordeal. Then there's Feedly, which I'm not sure how to make of this. It's very pretty as a lot of other people have said, but I don't know how to organize everything. There are a lot of other RSS feed readers out there, make sure to do your research before signing up!

I've actually read from several bloggers way before yesterday that they are renouncing GFC, which I think is a good idea, but I'm still super hesitant to take GFC off of my blog. For those of you who aren't already following me on bloglovin:

If you don't know how to use Bloglovin, comment below and I will try to get a guide up sometime next week!
