Ok, while I’m at it, thought I would go ahead and post a quick tutorial as well for how to move from Google Reader to Feedly. (If you want to move to Bloglovin‘, you can find my tutorial here.)
I have been using Feedly on my phone for a long time now, but only learned how to download it on my computer this week. It is a SUPER easy transition! And it probably is a closer fit to Reader than Bloglovin’, and they have tons of cool apps and formatting options so that you can make your reader look just the way you want it. But still, both Feedly and Bloglovin’ have their pros and cons.
I have listed the steps below for transferring your Google Reader blogs over to Feedly. But note that you will need to repeat this process if you use multiple browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, etc.). Also note that Feedly does not currently work on Explorer.
Cheers to all of these great sites stepping in to replace Reader!
Hi Brandy, I’m like you. I couldn’t find the connect to google button just download google for safar which I have downloaded tens of times already and installed and in vain. I still was not asked to log to google and still can’t migrate my feeds. :(
Ok – I must be an idiot because I am having trouble switching. I went to the website and didn’t see anything that said that said connect to google reader. I logged in per the instructions on the site and still nothing. This is SO frustrating! I have a large amount of subscriptions and I really don’t want to lose them! :(
I too made the change to Feedly. It’s pretty similar. One thing I loved about Google Reader was the “Google Next” button, so I could go from blog to blog without having to go back to Reader each time. (a lot of times I prefer to read on the actual web page rather than in the reader.) Do you know if Feedly has this feature?
Thanks so much!
Diane
Thank you! :)
I just made the move! And dude, it was so easy! Thanks for the tip :)
Oh my gosh. That’s easy. I haven’t investigated Feedly yet but plan to. Thank you so much for the info.
Thank you! I was stressing about what to do:)
Aaghh, you sold me on Bloglovin then I saw this..what’s a boy to do?
I’m using feedly right now. I like it a lot so far! And they say it’ll work seamlessly once reader goes away too!
Thanks for sharing! I am so lost with all of this stuff! Can’t I just bake cookies:)
