Thing 4: RSS and Newsreaders

I have been using blogs in my personal life for several years now.  I used Google Reader for years and was devastated when they chose to discontinue that service.  The blogs that I followed posted about the new choices as everyone was in the same boat.  While most of the bloggers switched over to Bloglovin, I made the switch to Feedly and could not be happier.

Feedly makes it very easy for me to sort my blogs into various categories and offers suggestions when I subscribe to a new blog.  I also love how simple it is to remove a subscription from my phone.  Google Reader was not user friendly and would force me to go to a desktop version to delete that subscription.

The one thing that I am not an expert at is adding content from the blog.  I've noticed that many blogs will have a way to add it via Bloglovin but not Feedly.  I normally will just go into my Feedly account and add the url manually.
