I may try out Feedly though. Word Press was my primary reader, where I followed my favorite blogs and then I'd test drive blogs over on Google Reader to see how I liked them. Since I moved everything over to Word Press, it's a little overwhelming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-58251065501179076822013-04-19T15:45:31.371-04:002013-04-19T15:45:31.371-04:00So, I think I signed up for Google Reader, but hon...So, I think I signed up for Google Reader, but honestly don't know if I ever used it.

Was I ever wrong! Encouraged by your post, Jill, I stopped to take care of the task, and guess what? The transition was seamless and took all of one minute. It kept all my categories and presents the posts in a clean, easy-to-read format.

It let me choose how I wanted to see the blogs (magazine-style, of course, duh!), if I wanted "featured" blogs (yes, this rounds out my regular reading), and a ton of other things. I'm really, really liking it!Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-62696415259860248972013-04-19T10:18:58.092-04:002013-04-19T10:18:58.092-04:00Ha, ha!

I'm not sure if this will fix the problem for you or not. I also prefer the "Magazine" look so I can see photos and read a snippet. I opted to have Feedly show me "Featured" blogs so I have access to a variety of blogs in my subscriptions without having to search them out or commit! Play around in the preferences--I think you'll find a layout you can live with. :)Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-32728123601579126942013-04-19T10:10:58.901-04:002013-04-19T10:10:58.901-04:00Makes blog reading SO much easier! :)Makes blog reading SO much easier! :)Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-51031259189073282292013-04-19T10:10:41.305-04:002013-04-19T10:10:41.305-04:00I know!

Not only that, I'm really challenged when it comes to all this stuff. I pretty much know how to blog and use Facebook - sort of. Even though they keep changing it on me. I need to take a social networking class. For dummies :)Cindy R.
