STOP.....PLEASE READ THIS

STOP...........

Please read this if you get my blog posts via your emails..........

The feed burner that makes the posts turn up in your email is being wiped on 1st July......

contact me if you need help to sort thru this chookyblue2@gmail.com

I have not swapped to another feed burner to do this process.........

You can do what ever you want but I use Feedly at present...it is a subscription service....it doesn't deliver posts to my email

basically I am always logged into Feedly and I subscribe to peoples blogs that I want to follow.........once you have saved the blog address into Feedly it stays there.........

I go into Feedly and if anyone has done a new blog post it will show up in there..........pretty easy.......but email me on the address above if you need help...........

Feedly views....

If you use google reader you MUST change now before it dies 1st July

For those who view there blogs on their dashboard then I think you are ok as the feeds there comes from some other feed thingy...........

Just thought I would show you some pics from feedly.......

sorry with no computer things are a challenge - i'm currently borrowing mum's computer but I can't do all your normal things on it.......all my programs and links etc aren't on it....anyway.........

Not the best pics but you get the idea...........Feedly will give you a choice of views of your blog feeds.........

on the left there are a list of the blogs you subscribe too........this is the right side of the screen

See the little icons in the top left of the pic???

This is title only view

This is magazine view........

This is cards view.......

this is the full article.........this is how I view mine..........this makes it look the most like google reader..........

also down in the left hand corner - below your list of blogs you will find the preferences where you can change some other settings............

Really I don't care what you change to but change before the 1st if you use google reader.........

if you don't know what google reader is don't worry...........

a sunny but chilly day..........no wild rainy weather here like along the coast......

Catch you later.....

Google Reader --->>> Feedly.......

I've been holding out on what I what I was going to change too but with 10 days to go I have made my final decision and it was nailed only just now having read a news announcement about Feedly.........you can read it on the Feedly blog too.....

I looked at blog lovin early on but didn't like the look of it............

So then I found Feedly......Googy Girl and I were using it and chatting about it..........I was pretty happy with the look I changed a few settings and it pretty much looked just like google reader.........

I was a little concerned because if I read posts in google reader it was updating in Feedly too.....I was worried Feedly was based somehow on Google reader and would i have issues once google reader died on 1st July....my concern was confirmed in what I have read this morning.....and here....

Feedly was using Google readers platform in the background BUT problem solved with 19th June announcement FEEDLY has a new cloud and has become it's own platform woohoo......

....so now when google reader goes it won't bother Feedly 

So now I am definitely very happy with Feedly and will be sticking with it to read my blogs.......

NOW it not only works in the google environment it also works on Internet Explorer and iPhones and Androids too plus more but these are the main ones i paid attention to......

If you have no idea what I am talking about i'll attempt to explain.........

When you write a blog post it gets sent out as a RSS feed (in the background of doing a post - you see nothing of this)

Feedly and Blog Lovin are RSS feed readers. Meaning you can have an account with them. You go to one page and subscribe to all the blogs you want to read there and the RSS readers work in the background searching all the blogs you follow and as soon as your favourite blog does a new post it gets pulled into the one spot. So you can just go to Feedly and open one page and all the updates are there from when you visited last time. Saves going to open all your friends blogs only to find they may or may not have written a new post. 

What to do if you haven't used google reader well just go and start a new account in Feedly and you can subscribe to the blogs you want to follow.

For you untechy ones out there NONE of this will affect your blog as it is now. 

Your blog will open as usual.

You do not need to claim your blog anywhere for it to keep going.

.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........
