Google Reader: Info You Should Know!

I am writing a special Saturday post because I've recently

stumbled upon some information that will really help my fellow bloggers.

We are all so sad to see Google Reader go and have been

diligently working on guiding our followers to Bloglovin' or 

some other type of reader service.

Here's the deal...

Google Reader and Google Friend Connect are NOT the same!

You will continue to have your list of followers and your reading

list on your Blogger dashboard.

To see what is leaving us, go to reader.google.com

Chances are you've never even used it. Mine wasn't even set up.

Google Reader is an RSS feed reader similar to Bloglovin' where

you can add all blogs you follow and read them in one place.

When you follow a blog via GFC, that blog is placed in Google Reader

AND your Blogger Reading List. Your Blogger Reading List will still be

there after July 1st, as well as the GFC widget on your blog.

Now, don't be surprised if Google gets rid of GFC next. They are really

trying to get everyone to switch over to Google+ for everything.

But for now, it stays.

I hope this clears up some confusion for you all.

I know I was relieved to learn this!

Be sure to share this information with your bloggy friends!
