"There's even a Bloglovin' app for your iPad, or other tablet or smart phone!"
As you may have become aware from the wails of anguish a few months ago, Google has decided to discontinue Google Reader as of July 1. I personally did not use GR, but it was apparently a popular format to receive updates from favorite blogs and news services. I'm uncertain about whether those of us who use Google Friend Connect will still get blog updates, and if any of you readers know for sure, please do chime in.
Of course, those of you on Google+ who have have added Une femme to your circles will still get updates as usual. (The Google+ widget on right sidebar is a quick and easy way to do so if you'd like.)
To be on the safe side, I've also been testing Bloglovin' which has been recommended as an alternative reader, and have concluded that it's pretty easy to navigate and allows you to organize and group your favorite blogs by categories of your choice, a handy option if you follow a lot of blogs like I do. I spent a few hours over the weekend migrating my blog reading list over to Bloglovin'. In the process of doing so, I was dismayed to see that some of your blogs have not been populating in my Blogger/ Google Friend Connect feed, so I've been missing out on some posts! Dommage!
I'm suggesting that if you currently subscribe to Une femme or any of your other favorite blogs through Google Reader, you might want to migrate to Google+, Bloglovin' or one of the other readers out there in plenty of time before the July 1 cutoff.
(Click on the button below to follow with Bloglovin'. Oui, c'est facile!)
Facebook users will see regular blog updates at the blog's Facebook Page. (Just "Like" the page and then hover over the Like button until the options pop up, then select "Show in News Feed" to be sure you don't miss any updates.)
You can also go to one of the widgets on the right sidebar and sign up for emails, and if you have any favorite readers for subscriptions/blogs that you're currently utilizing, please let us know in comments.
Note: I do not work for Bloglovin' nor do I receive any compensation from them. I've just found this to be one of the easiest and most accessible of the readers I've looked at.
I also have some exciting changes in the works for the blog within the next few weeks. Look for updates soon!
Do you use readers to follow your favorite blogs? Please do share any recommendations or experiences with readers or other subscription services.
