Feed Readers

Feed Readers

Feed readers are something new to me and usually when I try something new, I get nervous about trying it out or using it. However, I have to admit I absolutely love the idea of having this tool available for me. If you aren't sure of what feed readers are, also known as RSS readers, this is somewhat like a bookmark where you can have access to your favorite blogs with just one click.

I have recently chosen Bloglovin as my RSS feed reader. One of the reasons I chose this feed reader was because of the ability to create folders. I admit I need help with organization, and I feel this will be a great tool for me. Secondly, with Bloglovin a link can be embedded into one’s blog and can be added.  Lastly, it allows followers to stay up on the latest posts in the feed. Every time a blogger writes a new post, Bloglovin’ automatically posts a preview in the followers’ feed. Followers can simply click on the post to read it, like it, or save it for a later time. The followers can also click on the blog and see all the posts at once. These are the three main reasons why I chose Bloglovin as my feed reader.

My first blog additions to my RSS were the following:

 https://childlitfan.tumblr.com/
This blog is mainly about children's literature and elementary school library ideas. The promotion of literacy and valuable information posted was one of the reasons I chose to follow this blog.

http://heylibrarylady.tumblr.com/
This blog shares interesting information mainly about YA literature. I am following this blog to be informed about YA literature in order for it to be of assistance in my career.

http://schoollibraryjournal.tumblr.com/
School Library Journal is a resource I will definitely be using during my career as a librarian. This blog is important for me to follow due to the important information it contains.

I absolutely loved this blog! In this blog you will find creative ways for book displays. I one hundred percent recommend it.

In addition to informative blogs, I decided to follow this humorous blog about typical librarian problems. Afterall, a giggle a day keeps stress away.

I have also created my own Tumblr account! Check it out!
