How Do You Read Blogs?

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?

I have always bookmarked them. I never knew google reader existed until I entered a contest on a page and I had more chances to win if I used it. But after I signed up for it, it sent me a notice that it was going away. Good thing I didn't become to attached..:) lol

I have a blog roll on my blog and go to my fave blogs via those links.

Still on Google Reader and procrastinating the change. Will likely go to Feedly but, as usual, letting things settle a bit before making a decision. Pretty peeved with Google right now for running Bloglines (my old reader) outta town and then just walking. Your blog....very first one in my list of favorites and always the first one I read if you have a new post. :) You rock!

Bookmark gal:)

Wow I didn't know there was any other way other than bookmarks. Can't wait to try out some of thesse other suggestions.

Initially it was Bloglines, then Google Reader, but I never was delighted with Reader, it was just the most convenient. I like Feedly, but am having problems, partly because they are overwhelmed, partly because I can't control the version of Firefox, etc., that I can use on my work pc. Am still checking into things like Blogloving, theOldReader, etc. Haven't yet settled onto one. I only use bookmarks as a backup, and would hate to clutter up my email that way. I follow too many blogs for that to be remotely feasible.

I've been using Feedly for a couple years now and have loved it! Like you, I like the clean look. I like how easy it is to organize and stay connected with the blogs I follow.

I love Feedly; tried bloglovin and perhaps I hadn't figured out the best way to set it up but didn't like it.

I have a favorites folder in feedly that I try to limit to 10. Then I have specific folders like foodie blogs, linky blogs, design blogs, photography blogs, and only go peeking in those occasionally.

I'm curious to hear which blogs are your "don't want to miss" email subscriptions! I have only 2 or 3---one is Seth Godin, which cracks me up because I don't normally subscribe to blogs in his field but I love his posts and they are short enough (and not visual) that they're perfect for email.

I use the Pulse to read all of my blogs. I love the visual interface so I can see what I've read and what might be interesting to me. I'll have to look into Feedly. I love getting the teaser to some of your blog entries through FB, too!
