Tips on using Feedly to follow blogs

I have been using Feedly to follow my blogs this last few weeks or so ........................ so far, so good

I follow the Feedly Blog and saw some great hints and tips on using Feedly in a post HERE

The best tip I have discovered is how to add a new blog to your Feedly list with just the click of a button :-)

I quote an excerpt from the Feedly Blog

Case #5: You are browsing and bump into a blog or site you want to follow

• On chrome and firefox, feedly adds a little semi transparent button to the bottom right of the site. You can click on that button and on the feedly logo to easily add the feed of that site to your feedly – the feedly button will only appear if the site include RSS or ATOM metadata headers.

Read the whole post HERE it has some great tips on how easy it is to use Feedly  ................. no need to 'claim' anything ;-)

The next thing I am investigating is 'How to know how many people are following my blog using Feedly"
will keep you posted on my investigations ;-)

now off to do some housework, then this afternoon sit down with a glass of wine and get some sewing done ;-)

Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.
Remember, any day doing something you love makes it a good day ;-)

Google Reader gone .... Feedly it is ;-)

Blogland is abuzz Google Reader will be shutting it's doors 1st July 2013 :(

I wasn't really happy to hear that, but have been looking around at a replacement reader - at this stage, looks like Feedly is the winner for me ;-)

It flows just like Google Reader, just a click and you are on your way ;-)  perfectly painless ;-)
My lists/favourites are all transferred over - I have chosen to view my list in the 'full article' view, and they are marked as 'read' as I scroll down - just like Google Reader - if the Blogger has chosen to show only part of their post in a reader, I click over to the actual blog to read the rest of the post - just like Google Reader.

I have found a wealth of information over on the Feedly blog HERE.

So ......... so far so good ;-)

You can subscribe to my blog utilising Feedly by clicking on the 'Subscribe To' button on the right hand sidebar, and selecting "Atom" (select Posts or Comments), then Feedly opens up. It is here you can Add it to your Feedly reading list and put it in any of your categories/faves.  If you wish to change categories later, just click on the blog in the Feedly list and click on the 'edit' button - you can then select/deselect which category the blog can go in ;-)  easy peasy!   I love reading my blogs by category - I can just read my 'Quilting Aussies' list, if I am wanting to see what is happening here in quilting blogland here in Australia.


Just an observation  .............. it looks like Blogger will still have the 'Reading List' available at the bottom of your Blogger Dashboard, so you can continue to read the blogs you follow that way if you wish.

Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.
