If Google Friend Connect Goes Away -- FEEDLY!

I haven't seen any official announcement that Google Friend Connect is going away, but since Google Reader won't be around, I guess everyone assumes we should prepare for GFC to also be eliminated. So I'm jumping on the bandwagon with a post to invite you to follow me via Feedly. I've been using the Feedly Reader now since Google Reader made it's announcement and I'm really happy with it.

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!
