Since Google Friend Connect seems to be disappearing (March 1st??) for non "blogger" sites (and really, who knows when it will disappear for good),
I'm testing Bloglovin...
So far, I think I like it. I was able to export my google reader subscriptions (go to your google reader, settings, import/export subscriptions) and save to your computer and then import the file in to Bloglovin via this link. I think it imported everyone...if not, it sure got the majority (and I follow a LOT of blogs as you can see from my profile!)
And I was able to download an app for my phone too. :-)

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
ps....I'm also on Google+. If you're using Google plus too, then add me, or let me know and I'll add you! Also, if you look to the right on my blog, I've also added a number of other ways you can still follow me, if you'd like. :-)
...pps....I came across bloglovin via this blog post in my search for a easy to use platform that can still connect me to artists I love to follow and who follow me. :-)
Here's to hoping you guys won't disappear when google does pull the plug on Google Friend Connect.
Leila, This is a GREAT tip! I'm definitely going to check this out tomorrow or later today when I have more time. I like the little icon on your sidebar too - it stands out. The Linky tools is very confusing because you have to manually enter every time you have a blog post or it won't show up on someone's Linky Tool Blog Reader! That just seems like too much work! Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Geri! I tried Linky first and consider myself to be pretty up and up on blogging, coding, etc...and I was way too confused by it and felt my followers would be too... So in my search I found Bloglovin and am pretty pleased with it so far. Mostly, I like how easy it is to use. :-)
