Tutorial: Movin' to Bloglovin' (Goodbye, Google Reader!)

It's official. Our faithful Google Reader, daily providing an updated viewing of our favorite blogs, is now leaving. We have until July 1 to give it our final regards.

Movin' to Bloglovin'


With this removal of a popular tool, we've been given a call to action. Another RSS blog reader must be found. I've been hearing about Bloglovin' for months. Really, it's more by trend that by choice that I'm trying it out now. This website provides a similar service to Google Reader, and if you decide to start using it, then I have a tutorial for you below!

Tutorial: Grow Your Knowledge


You can import your Google Reader subscriptions right into Bloglovin', so getting settled into a new RSS blog reader is a cinch.

Reading your favorite blogs is now going to be in a different format than it was in Google Reader. However, Bloglovin' is an adequate replacement, especially since blogs everywhere seem to be migrating there. Other RSS readers are out there too, so if you're not completely satisfied with Bloglovin', you can still decide to move your daily blog reading somewhere else.

Enjoy!
