Follow Follow Me

So I have been trying to figure out what all of this Google Reader not being around anymore means.  We still have till July so don't stress to much if you aren't sure what you want to do.  Seriously, this stuff makes my head spin.  I never used Good Reader but I know a lot of people use it to follow Happy Quilting.  From what I have come to understand . . . Those friends that follow me through Google Friends Connect and read my blog posts on Google Reader will now need to find an alternative way to get my posts.

So . . . Here are some alternatives . . .

You can always get email updates by clicking on the button that looks like this over in the Follow Follow Me section of my sidebar


Or, you can follow me on Twitter or Facebook, as every time I post here at Happy Quilting, it is updated there :)  Same idea, just click on the button that looks like this in the same section

  

Or, you can use any Reader that you prefer to follow along with by clicking on the RSS button that looks like this in the same section.  


And . . . Since it seems like Bloglovin seems to be the newest thing . . . I am going to look into understanding it and have "claimed" my blog there so you can Follow my blog with Bloglovin by clicking on the link.  I will try to add a widget of some sort in the very near future so it is in the sidebar as well :)

And last, but not least. . . . You can always do it the old fashion way (which is what I do because I am old school like that ;)  and just visit here by actually coming to my blog address :)  

Thanks to all of my wonderful readers :)  Here's hoping we don't lose to many of you in the transition.  I hate getting lost in technology and I know I struggle with these kind of changes so I am sure some of you do too :)

  1. I'm using Feedly and liking it. What does it mean to 'claim' a blog?

  2. Just about everyone I want to visit I put in the side bar of my blog then just click on when it is updated. Good luck with it all.

  6. When I decided to try Bloglovin', it very easily imported all the blogs I'd been following with Google Reader. And Bloglovin will let me add more--so I've been following you with Bloglovin since I made the change.

  9. I really like Bloglovin. Get a daily email and it lists all the blogs that were updated that day. Much easier to keep up with everything in one place.

  10. I follow you via emails. I do that with most of my favorites. I may loose people too but I blog so little. Wish I could get my sewing adrenalin going.

  11. I use Blogger to see all the blogs I follow. I prefer it to bloglovin, though I do try it sometimes. I suppose everyone has their own preferrred method, and bloglovin is basically only a way to help you keep track of blog updates. I have the impression that you don't even have to claim your blog on bloglovin to allow people to get updates from bloglovin about your blog. You definitely can use bloglovin as a reader without "claiming" your own blog on it.

  12. I am also now on Feedly. Trying to get used to it but it is not Google. It is hard to catch up when you are behind on Feedly. I will try several others to find the one I like
