Bloglovin

Here is an update about Bloglovin from Jenny @ The NY Melrose Family about why she joined Bloglovin:
     Alright lovelies, are you ready for the greatest thing since GFC?  Well then you need to check out Bloglovin'!  What's Bloglovin' you ask?  Well, only the greatest way to keep track of the blogs that you love.  With the discontinuation of Google Friends Connect, I decided that I needed to find another way to keep up with all of my favorite blogs that are not hosted by blogger.  I signed up for Linky Followers and I've had great success with gaining new followers, but I’m finding I don’t get any traffic to my site from Linky.  I also do not enjoy reading my favorite blogs from there.  I stumbled upon Bloglovin' and I am in love!  It is very similar to Google Reader, in that you can see the beginning of the post and the first picture attached to the post.  Plus, Bloglovin' automatically updates your posts, unlike Linky Followers, which you have to manually update each time you write a new post.  I don't know about you, but I just don't have the time to do that every time.  Another added bonus is there is a Bloglovin' application for IPhone and Android devices.  Woohoo!  Like I don't spend enough time reading blogs.  Now it's a simple touch.  Love it!


Today she is doing a Blog Hop with some other wonderful people - Here are the directions if you want to join - this information is from Randee's Organized Chos

So let’s get to the blog hop.  This is a party so make sure to have some fun and mingle.  There’s only a couple of rules:

1.       Please follow all three hostesses – The NY Melrose Family, School House Scraps & Randee's Organized Chaos

2.      Add Bloglovin' to your blog.

3.      Post our button for the blog hop on your page to promote the fun.

I know I probably didn't do this post justice - I will in fact figure out how to get this "Blog" thing down soon, I promise :)
