Since Google Reader is being deleted as of July 1rst, 2013, I decided to register my blog with Networked Blogs so that my followers will have another way of following me.
Why am I doing this? Blogger only allows you to follow 300 blogs via Google Friend Connect. I know some of my followers are currently following more than 300 blogs. If you are following more than 300 blogs with Google Friend Connect, you can choose to follow your favorite blogs through Networked Blogs, Bloglovin', by email, or a reader other than Goolge. (For example, I follow some blogs using Yahoo reader.)
To learn more about following blogs via Networked Blogs, go here to learn more.
Any questions? Feel free to comment on this post or email me by clicking on the mail icon at the top of my blog and I will be happy to help you out.
Talk to you soon!

Hi Ruth, As I understand it, Networked Blogs requires a Facebook account. If folks have one and use Facebook all the time anyway, Networked Blogs could be a great option. Thanks for the reminder. xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteYeah, Bloglovin has a facebook app, which is a different thing. It allows you to post your blog posts on your personal Facebook page. Glad you found my post useful!

Now you have also taken a decision, I would like to hear about your experience with the new way to follow your chosen blog.

I'll let you know how it works Wyrna! I know of several other bloggers who we both follow who will write about how they will follow other blogs, so you will have plenty of options!

Now I follow you with Networked blogs. You can follow me with it too.
ReplyDeleteBye, Faby
Thanks Faby! I will still follow you with Google friend connect, since I am not over the limit of following 300 blogs.
DeleteHugs,
Ruth
I guess the best thing is to have all the options available. Whatever it takes to get more followers! LOL!

Yeah, I was going to use Bloglovinn but I registered my other blog with them ages ago, so now it won't let me register this one. I knew Networked blogs was another option and I found it user friendly. I think if you provide one alternative to your followers and they really like your blog, they will follow you with that. I know Brae (Otterine.com blog) is planning to use something else and will write a tut about it. Guess you just have to decide what's best for you!
