Bloglovin



Follow on Bloglovin

Hey all!

Just ignore me - I'm posting this to claim my blog on Bloglovin. I tried to resist but it seems to be what all the cool kids are doing so I must assimilate.

  1. Well, now that you have done it I really feel the urge to join in as well. So far I have held out since the last big scare over GFC didn't hit me at all. So I was thinking maybe this one was just like the last. But maybe I should take this one more seriously.

    1. This stuff makes me want to pull my hair out. How many ways do I have to ask people to follow me? lol

      I think the death of GFC is coming though so...

    2. I don't know...to me it sounds like one person or two started this wave of panic about GFC only because of G Reader dying next July, and everyone just started running scared and packing their things, so to speak. To date, I haven't be able to find any proof of GFC dying as well. Anyway, I may consider joining another blog aggregator (?), but I'm a bit uneasy right now. I found an old article (2011) and who knows if the issue is still the same?

    3. I rarely jump in when people move to these things. For example I have Feedburner but I never check it so I have no idea how many people follow me through that. I have still not joined Pinterest or instagram.

      But I do feel that people in general are moving away from GFC as a follow option (it's still my favorite because it's easy, I don't look through RSS feeds and don't want 100's of email subscriptions). And I do think at some point that GFC button will go away. I just don't' know when.

      It's hard to decide how many options to offer and when everyone is picking something different it gets crazy. I tried feedly and I really like it. The problem I have with bloglovin is that I'm not sure why I have to *claim my blog* Huh??? Shouldn't we just be able to subscribe to blogs without making a big thing of it?

      I guess I joined in because I want it to be easy for people to follow whatever they choose but the options are making me crazy.

      P.S. This will be an upcoming BBC topic

  3. Oh gosh, I did not know about gfc drama!! will it be phased out? I am so out of the loop. i have a bloglovin account, and I followed you with it. But I have never advertised bloglovin as a way to follow me, in fact i think i only have my vintage blog on there. oh geez....what to do, what to do...
