Bloglovin'

One of my favorite things my old blog layout offered was a blogroll.  Anytime someone would post a new blog, their blog would pop to the top of the list and I could keep up with everyone.  I chose to lose the blogroll for a much cleaner design (which I love), but as the months went on I found myself not really even reading blogs anymore.  I thought about doing a reader, but decided to check out Bloglovin' and I have to say, I love it.  It's a very tidy way of keeping up with everyone, and when I do fall behind there is this magic button that says "mark all as read".  Perfect.  :)


If you are looking for a way to manage all of the blogs you follow, I would totally recommend it.  And, if you are on there you can most definitely follow this blog if you'd like.  :)  xoxo Katie

    I've been using bloglovin for a couple of years now, best thing I ever did. All my favourite blogs are organised & I can read or not read whatever I want!

    I've tried Bloglovin and I just can't get into it. I'll have to try again :) Are you allowed to follow any blog that you want, even if they don't have a bloglovin button?

    i LOVE blog lovin too. i used to always just have everything book marked and it would take forever go through the blogs. i haven't ever used the 'mark all as read button" even when my to be read number is over 1000! i just don't want to miss anything!

    I've been using Bloglovin for quite awhile now and love it! I wish more of my favorite blogs were on there, because it gets confusing sometimes trying to remember where to find everyone (blogger, Google Reader, Bloglovin...).

    Bloglovin is magical. I recently had to click Mark All as Read when I got a month behind. I try to keep up! <3

    I too am now an avid Bloglovin user, for the exact same reasons as you.

    And in answer to Katie's question above: yes you can use Bloglovin to follow any blog on any server/provider - *yay!* it was one of the big factors in using it as it works across all feed types so you really can follow the blogs you want to from one point.

    Have fun!

    I follow you on Bloglovin! I love it as well! One interesting thing about your blog on there though, is whenever I open your blog from Bloglovin and try to comment, it won't open the comment page. I have to go out and go to your blog the regular way to comment. Weird huh?

    I've been using Bloglovin for months now and LOVE it. I agree it helps keep everything organized and it's easy to see everything you want. I also can't comment on Bloglovin' on your blog and have to open it in another window. If you change your comment setting to POPUP it will allow it.... for some reason it just won't open it in a second window.

    bloglovin' is absolutely the best reader! i only found it about 6 mo. ago, but it's been really helpful!

    i like how bloglovin' lets you organize your blogs into groups, like i have a "must read" group... 'cause i often wonder if i'm crazy for trying to follow 45 blogs... and i stress trying... does anyone else do this?

    I've been using Bloglovin' for quite some time now, and don't know how I managed to stay on top of all my faves without it! And now that we have Pinterest too, my computer is no longer bogged down with excessive pictures and bookmarks saved on the hard drive!
