Goodbye GFC, Now What Should I Use?
GFC was so convenient! Click follow on a blog, and new posts automatically showed up in your Google Reader. Shortly after I moved from Blogger to WordPress, Google announced that GFC would no longer be available to WordPress users So I posted Linky Followers in my sidebar. I still read the blogs I followed in Google Reader. Now Google is doing away with the Reader as of July 1st.
I’ve been trying out different readers. Linky Followers has a decent reader, as does Feedly. I’ve also been using bloglovin’ lately, and I really like it. You get one email every day with all the new posts. The readers that I have tried recently are making it easy to transfer the blogs your following to them. They ask you if you want to transfer, you click yes, and it imports your lists. It was very easy on the ones that I tried. Yes, I transferred my blog list to several different readers so I could see which one I liked best.
When you find your new favorite, don’t forget to add Linda’s Lunacy! I have a bloglovin’ button in the right sidebar along with Linky Followers and Networked Blogs.
Don’t forget to follow Linda’s Lunacy on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinerest, too!

I really like feedly! With the new update when you subscribe to a rss feed it pops up on feedly and you can organize it.
