Lookin' for a reader....
So I am catching on that Google Reader will be kaput on July 1st of this year. Heavens to mercatroid! As techno-challenged as I am I have impressed myself with the things I've done to build this blog and really settled into it's look after a few tries in templates and backgrounds. I have seen the beginnings of the end with several bloggers bouncing over to bloglovin...but I have to be honest I am not digging the starkness of the pages. I like the cozy personalities we have all invested into the way our blogs look, very inviting and friendly.
I have started researching the various other readers out there and I am still clueless. I am hoping that we can all make the easy transition and keep on blogging without getting lost in TRON-land. Hahaha. I Chiuahua! I can't be in denial and want to be prepared for the inevitable.
Please share your thoughts, recommendations and if you have any plans in place to make the move.
Keep on keepin'
P.J.

I'm using Feedly. They go through Google Reader but will have their own platform by the time Google Reader goes away. No fuss, no muss. :D (And I don't get this "follow my blog with bloglovin" thing at all.)
I have leaning strongly towards Feedly, thank you Margaret. Now I need to dig in the tool box and figure out how to change it.
Grrr just when I start to figure things out things go changing. Think I will go with you and Margaret. For the record, I don't get the "follow my blog with bloglovin" either.
Hi PJ,
I am going to continue to use reader for now. We still have a few months left. I know there are several projects in the works right now. I will wait to see what is available then.
I am leaning towards The Old Reader. http://theoldreader.com/feeds/import
It is an easy transfer from google and it can be accessed from either google or facebook. It also has a similar look and feel to reader. I do not want something that can only be used through facebook.
It is a pain in the neck though! One wonders why they just can't leave well enough alone!
Everyone's feedback is terrific; I do appreciate all the different points of view and experiences.thx
I am on Feedly. I wanted to be able to try my options before Google goes away. I like Feedly. They have really nice apps for my cell phone and computer. Just takes some getting use to as anything new. Even though I have Feedly I still use Google too till it goes away.
love Annette
Aye Chihuahua, PJ! That's funny! I'm with you on this. I don't know where to start. Guess I'll look into this Feedly too.
Not sure about Bloglovin' ~ I'm leaning towards Feedly so far. It would be nice if Google would reconsider and leave well enough alone.
