Tomorrow, July 1, 2013, Google shuts the lights on Google Reader forever. When I first started this blog in 2009, Google Reader was what I used to keep up with all my favorite blogs. However, a few years ago I switched over to Bloglovin’ and never looked back. I’ve been meaning to do a post about this forever, but true to form, I’m here at the eleventh hour…anyway, if you’re a procrastinator just like me, you have until the end of the day to move your feeds over from Google Reader. USA Today, does a much better job of explaining how than I could ever hope to and also breaks down the benefits of some additional newer alternatives, like Feedly, (which I’m hearing great things about). How do you keep up/subscribe to blogs? I’d love to hear about it in the comments as there are so many different ways to do so, these days!
Took care of this myself last week. Love BlogLovin' and Happy to follow Zhush there!
I have heard great things about Feedly as well…..I'm using bloglovin and am happy so not sure I will try anything else. I adore your office!!
There is also the Old Reader, Newsfire, and apparently Flipboard is also enabling the move from Google reader to their platform. I am going to try three types bc I find that with bloglovin the links don't open. Hopefully they might improve on that one!
I use Google Friend Connect. I never really got how google reader is being canceled or the whole process. I thought the GFC was included or something like that. But I guess not? I wish you luck though! You can do it!

I find the easiest way to follow blogs is having them on my blogroll. So I can click after I fining working on my latest post. I do subscribe to some and love being able to read them in a down moment.
