How Do YOU Follow Your Blogs?
I used to follow all my favorite blogs by bookmarking them in my browser. I liked this system because I didn’t have to remember names and URL’s. I could just go straight to the “Blogs” folder in my bookmarks, and check them one after another.
At the same time, I also attempted to employ the RSS feed system. The idea of feeds going straight to email is great, but, I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of the format.
Not too long ago I discovered Bloglovin’.
Here’s why I like bloglovin’. It keeps all your favorite blogs organized in one place. It shows (good-sized) thumbnails of the blog entry, along with the headline and a few lines of text. It imports new posts almost immediately (within approx. 15-30 minutes), so when a new entry is posted to one of your favorite blogs, you see it much faster than you would, were you randomly clicking bookmark to bookmark. You can also do searches within bloglovin’ for specific keywords to find new blogs you might be interested in. AND, if you have a smaller blog you like to follow that’s not registered in bloglovin’, you can copy and paste the url into your bloglovin’ search and become that blog’s first follower!
If you’re not already following me on bloglovin, the direct link is RIGHT HERE.
