bloglovin'

So I learned a while back that Google Reader was going the way of the walkman.... So I looked into other Blog readers...And I found Bloglovin'.

A few of the blogs I follow had already made the switch to Bloglovin', and they raved about it. So I figured I'd jump on the train. So I looked up how to move my Google Reader feed over to Bloglovin'. I googled it and found the Bloglovin' blog and this awesome explanatory post!

It's pretty easy to use, and there's a mobile app for it as well. I have my blogs separated into groups : friends (people I know!), crafty (all the crafty blogs I follow!), and fun (all the crazy fun blogs I follow, like Pintrosity).

I know when you go the Blogger dashboard, there is a list of new posts, but I follow a lot of blogs and Blogger doesn't put up more than 20 new posts... So I miss them sometimes. On the Bloglovin' each blog on my list has a number next to it with the number of new unread posts. When I click on a blog I want to read, it opens another tab, with a direction bar at the top! So I don't have to keep going back to the main page! I can go onto the next blog or post I want to read, right from that page!!

So pretty sure I'm sold on Bloglovin' - it's pretty awesome. Well, awesome when I remember to check my account. But when I do, there's LOTS to read and I enjoy catching up!

So for those of you who still use Google Reader and are as disappointed as I was about it being gone, Bloglovin' might be the answer you've been looking for. It's very user friendly and very fun.

Lamest Excuse Ever

Alright. I'm really lame.

And I'm sorry.

I'll tell you all why I've been MIA for the last month!

-These stupid pills they have me on make me feel lame, like depressed lame.
-We just started our 3 week-long Memorial Day sale. Busy.
-I've been exhausted.
-I can't find anyting cute to do...

Ok, so that last one is the lamest of them all.

I have been painting the baby's room. I'm slowly getting back ambition and energy.

I've got a short little craft coming. One I've had hanging around my craft room for a while. :)

Thank you for being patient. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. ♥

I'm pretty excited for this Blogger Award! It's my first ever!

• Angie's Creative Corner

• Green Apple Orchard

• Living with Punks

• Tattered and Inked

• Sisters Stuff

• A Crummy Marriage Blog

There are so many others that deserve this award and I wish I could give more.

The rules of the award are to do a post about who gave you the award and then pass the award onto 10 other bloggers.  Let everyone know 10 things about yourself.

 

Ok, so since I can't change my alignment back to the left, this is just how it's going to be. I'm lame, I don't really blog-stalk anymore, so I didn't find 10 awesome bloggers. Remember, I'm lame and have been missing.

 

Love to all these really awesom bloggers! ♥
