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:
