Keeping up with your favourite blogs





How do you go to your favourite blogs each week or each day?  Do you simply surf from one to the next according to what catches your eye on the sidebar, or do you have your regular subscriptions drop into your email box each morning - delivered to your door!

If so you will probably be aware that Google Reader is no more - as from today!  Those of you who have been using the tool will  find yourselves bereft of your favourite blog updates.

Help is at hand!

You can follow most of your favourite blogs by email, or you may like to use the tried and tested site Bloglovin'

With Bloglovin' you can keep up with all your favourites in one - or two - easy steps!  Just sign up here using your email address or your facebook account.

And  when you sign up to Bloglovin', you are given the option of bringing your Google Reader subscriptions with you!

I have used it for a while, the layout is clean-cut and friendly, and the new posts updated very rapidly.




To follow My French Country Home by email click in the box at
 the top right hand corner of this page

To follow My French Country Home by Bloglovin' click here

Let me know how you get on!



PS .  There are several good articles available explaining how bloglovin' works, you may like to look here or here.  The second link walks you through the sign up process.
If you have been using Google Reader to keep up with your favorite blogs, you received noticed a LONG time ago that it was going away. You probably thought, “Oh, I have plenty of time.”
Not anymore! On Monday (in 2 days!), Google Reader will be no more. If you’ve been using it to read my blog posts, start following me by email or Bloglovin’. Don’t know what Bloglovin’ is? I’ve got you covered!
Bloglovin’ is a fun, new way to keep up with your favorite blogs. Here’s what you need to know about switching:
1. It’s easy, I swear!
The process to set up your account is quick and simple. Check out my detailed instructions below to guide you through the process step-by-step!
2. You can import your blogs from Google Reader with the click of a button. 
Yup, no manual adding blogs for you! Bloglovin’ will take care of it for you, easy peasy. See my guide below for more info.
3. There’s an app for that. 
Prefer to read blogs on your mobile device? No problem – Bloglovin’ has you covered! Download the free app for access to your favorite blogs when you’re on the go.
4. Organize your blogs. 
I’ve divided up my blogs into a couple different categories: cookie blogs, baking blogs, general cooking blogs, home improvement blogs, funny blogs, etc. You can create your own categories, so the possibilities are endless!
5. If you’re a blogger – claim your blog easily AND get more pageviews!
You can claim your blog by adding in a verifying link to the top of a post. From there, customize your profile and more! PLUS, and this is a biggie, if a reader decides to read your entire post (rather than just an excerpt), they click over to your blog – resulting in additional pageviews!
