BBB Housekeeping Post: Google Reader Closing

Okay, so Google Reader, which I know many BBB readers use to catch up on news, is closing down. This means that you’ll have to find a new way to get a daily fix of whatever blogs or sites you subscribe to. There is a very good article HERE on how to export all your feeds.

Otherwise, you can subscribe to BBB by filling in the Subscribe Box at the top of your page – BBB will generally drop into your inbox just in time for the journey to work – between 7.30 and 8am. If you don’t want to do it that way, then I cannot recommend Blog Lovin highly enough as a place to store all your favourite blogs and read them in one convenient place. There’s a subscribe button in the right hand column or you can click HERE.

You can import all your Google Reader blogs to Blog Lovin quite easily, so head to this post for a how to: HERE.

Google, hey? I wish I could change my mind as often as they do.

    How nice of them to (once again) deal a massive blog to our readerships.. First the GFC and now this. Perhaps they’ll bring it back like they did for the GFC.. I hope so

  2. Thanks for the tips and the link Jane, I’ve been very cross about this today! Bloglovin’ is the way to go I think.

  3. I was so irritated when I saw that pop-up announcement when I opened my reader last night.

  4. That sucks, especially as Bloglovin doesn’t appear to have a good app for Android. I do most of my blog reading when I am on the move or in a quiet moment at work on my phone as I struggle to find time to read at home. Boo hiss Google.

    They abandoned Reader and keep trying to push Google+! I for one detested Google+ and closed my account after one day of testing; it forces you to use your real name instead of a screen name. Um, no. Google, stop trying to make “fetch” happen. I’m switching to Bloglovin’

    No trust for Google anymore. Had to switch to Feedley and Bloglovin

    Will Google Friend Connect still work?!
