I have a new-found love for Bloglovin'. Let me explain.
When I first started blogging {almost 4 years ago!}, we used Google Reader to catch up on our favorite blogs. It looked like this:
It was super easy to go through all the blogs and read them in one spot. I didn't have to leave the page and I could just click from one blog post to the next, in the order that they were posted. I loved it! But then this happened:
Google Reader was shut down! Let's just say I wasn't happy.
It wasn't broken, why fix it {or get rid of it, in this case}? It was suggested that I try Bloglovin'. So I did. And I did NOT like it. It seemed to be my only choice. Sure, I continued to blog. But the amount of blog reading that I did, dropped significantly. It just wasn't easy anymore. Until recently.
Bloglovin' has made some awesome changes! I probably wouldn't have even noticed, if they hadn't changed the icon.
My favorite new feature is the ability to scroll through the posts. You just sl-i-i-i-de the screen to the left and the next post shows up! Previously, you had to return to the "My Feed" screen every time.
You can also save posts! I like this feature because it helps me to remember which posts I want to go back and comment on or pin.
Which leads me to the next feature....saving to different collections. You can create a "folder" to save your posts to. For example, I have a Leave Some <3 collection which reminds me that I want to go back and leave a comment on that post.
This may not be news to some of you, but it is game-changing for me! I am so excited to curl up on the couch tonight with my iPad to catch up on some blog reading.
I'm loving the new changes too!!
