Bye Bye Google Reader !!

Hello my friends.  This is an impromptu post so there will be no organization to it...not that there is a lot of organization to my posts normally....Anyway, I have seen around the old blog land today a bit of angst from the announcement that the Google Reader will be gone July.  I know that many use that to keep up with the blogs they follow.  I use Blogger Dashboard, probably because I don't know any better.  Who knows how long that will be around.

I don't know how to help you out on this but I know someone who has already done a great job of researching this for you all.

Sandra, at 'Diary of a Stay at Home Mom' has a complete list of help and is happy to share it all.  Here is the wealth of info that should help you all out.

Have a good evening, my friends.  xo

I have been using Google Reader for some time. I helps organize the blogs I read (yours is one of them).
I have found bloglovin and it is sort of similar.

This makes me glad I didn't know enough to use Google Reader, either. I so dislike these "improvements" that only make things worse.

Well, I didn't know that about google reader. Like you, I just use the dashboard. the igoogle personal home page is gone too. I wonder what's next. Seems they're trying to go in a different direction these days especially with pushing google+. I just don't have time for so called social (marketing, really) networks!

is just like goggle reader and it is easy to download and join.

Thanks for the link, dear friend! I am so sad they will be getting rid of GFC followers and reader. I don't know why they always have to change.

I hope your Sunday has been wonderful.

Love and hugs,
Stephanie

Hi Sherri! In reading this, I was wondering if you have had any trouble with Blogger dashboard? My reading list seems to have vanished from my dashboard without a trace! Just wondering if that had happened to anyone else?
