It takes a bit of getting used to, because of course it's different, but it is very easy, and they are adding new features all the time.
Today, I added a feedly icon to my "Find Me Elsewhere!" list of icons at the top of the right hand column in this blog. It looks like this:
So feel free to click on the icon or click HERE and follow me via Feedly! And here's a little secret -- if you click on the RSS icon to the left of the Feedly icon, it does the same thing-probably only if you have a Feedly account, though? I don't know.
Here's my question, though. I still follow a whole bunch of blogs via GFC. How am I going to switch them to another feed when GFC goes away? I've slowly tried to migrate individual blogs to an RSS feed, but I have literally HUNDREDS of blogs to do this for. I'm hoping Feedly and some of the other new readers will have a method to do this automatically! I don't want to lose all of you!
UPDATE: I guess I didn't make myself clear. I was able to upload all my GFC (and other) blogs I follow to Feedly. People keep saying that in the comments. I did that -- no problem. BUT my question is -- will all my GFC followed blogs still be there if GFC no longer exists? Will Feedly remember them? I feel like they are still connected to GFC. For example, when I delete a blog from Feedly, it deletes it from GFC, and vice versa. Do you think I will lose them when GFC goes away, or will Feedly remember them? I dont' know how to make my question clearer. It's not about getting the blogs into Feedly NOW. It's about keeping them FOREVER -- no matter what happens to GFC.
Thanks!
I used to use Feedly, but it seemed like it didn't update all the time, especially on my mobile device. I believe Feedly and the RSS feeder I'm currently using - Bloglovin, automatically imports your GFC blogs if you use the same account.
ReplyDeleteI really love the Feedly interface though, and the 'read later' option!
Yes, I've had no trouble importing the blogs I follow. I just want to make sure that they will ALL stay imported -- even the ones I followed via GFC -- when GFC goes away.
DeleteI like that Bloglovin has a button for people to use to follow me. I think that people like to be able to push a button on someone's blog to follow. At least I think they do!

OH looks like feedly has a button too!!
DeleteI wonder about the GR to Feedly transition too. I've been using Feedly as my reader lately and I really like it...but will it still upload all the blogs from my GR account when GR goes away? I don't understand that part.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I've emailed Feedly a couple of times, and checked their helps and FAQs. Nothing. I'm just not sure how it will work either....
DeleteAs others have mentioned already, I use Bloglovin' which imported all my contacts from GFC/Reader. Not sure if it can connect to GR though.
ReplyDeleteI was going to go with Feedly as well so I am glad that I won't be alone. I should add a Feedly button to my blog, good idea!
ReplyDeleteI did an export of my Google Reader and was then able to upload it into Feedly
As far as I know they are going into Feedly's own cloud server.. see this info..make sure you have all the right updates set up; http://goo.gl/C13WD
