Blogger Reading List is going away July 1.
THIS IS AN UPDATE: PLEASE SEE BRENDA'S COMMENT HERE THAT BLOGGER READER IS NOT GOING AWAY--GOOGLE READER IS. I WENT TO THE LINK SHE MENTIONED AND FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS BUT GOT A FAILURE NOTICE FOR THE 20 BLOGS THAT WERE IN GOOGLE READER. A TECHIE I AM NOT. SO MAYBE I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS AT ALL. HOWEVER, I MUST ADMIT I PREFER A LITTLE MORE ORGANIZATION OF THE BLOGS I FOLLOW THEN WHAT BLOGGER READER OFFERS.
That Google + sounds like way more than I want to have to deal with on a daily basis. The whole Circles idea already is driving me crazy. If I'm not in a circle, then I can't comment. I even considered switching from Blogger to Word Press. For now I'm sticking with my blog on Blogger as it is the easiest for me to use. However....
I just switched to Bloglovin'
What I like about it:
- has an iphone app
- it has a Face Book link IF you want to share your friends list
- was a no brainer to switch over the blogs I follow
- the layout design
- sends me email notifications of updates to the blogs I follow
- has a button to put on my sidebar
You should know that I tried two others first. This one was so easy to do I didn't even have to think.
And what a surprise--one of the categories is My Teammies and had them already listed--the ones who also had chosen Bloglovin'
I even discovered a shortcut, Manage Your Blogs, which give me one easy list with columns to sort into folders, delete, etc.
If you'd like to continue seeing my posts pop up somewhere for you, please hit the "Bloglovin'" button or choose "follow by email" --both are on my sidebar.
NICE SURPRISES
I won the random draw at Sugar Creek Hollow for their Use It Up challenge.
I made a Crafty Secrets card and got a $6 gift certificate to their store just for linking to their June Linky Party. I also commented on their beautiful new line of garden themed products AND WON a set! woop! woop!
Today's mail included my new stamps from Red Lead and Avery Elle. Both orders included a free stamp. Can't wait to start using all of them.
MORE CARDS MADE AT STAMPIN' UP CLUB:
How stinkin' cute is this one?

Helene, thanks for the tip :-) I've just signed up for Bloglovin'
Pretty cards too x Debi xoxox
I totally agree with you on the Google + and yes, it is annoying with commenting if you have not joined! I am surprised how many people have joined, but I won't be one of them! Love your cards, which reminds me that I need to place an order for some paper! Can you imagine running out!!!!
Blogger reader isn't disappearing Helene it's google reader that's going. If you haven't used google reader you should be ok.
Try looking at this blog and click on techy tips at the top of the page. Hopefully it will help you see what you need to do. But I am sure Blogger would have told us if we had to change.
