I've been fretting over Multiply closing and not being able to keep up with all my friends in the variety of formats they are choosing. I mean Blogster, Blogger, G+, FB.... my head is spinning and I'm going nuts trying to keep up. Also, I don't want to register with another potential sinking ship. I know things change on the internet. It is in constant flux. But come on... Multiply was a badly thought out decision and they will be the ones to pay. I just don't want to do this again.
So, my solution was right in front of me. RSS feeds. Yes. I went to my Friends on Blogster and subscribed via RSS Feed. I have Google reader in Chrome but you can get it in IE, too. Or you can chose another reader. Doesn't matter. For me, every single blog I subscribe to on Blogger is already out there. Every blog I subscribe to on Blogster via RSS fed is also on the reader. I now have all the blogs of I subscribe to in ONE place. I can read them! For the blogger blogs I have only to click on the title and it takes me right to that posts where I can then comment. I can't seem to get into Blogster that way but I can at least read and when I have time, go comment on the site.
Jilly, I can't get into your second blogger site. Not sure it if matters if you aren't going to be on there but I can get into one of them. Blogster gave me trouble today getting into your site. I tried on clicking on the notice of your post at the top and it would only take me to the home page. You're site was the only one to do that so not sure what caused it.
I feel better. But I also see that I have more blog friends that I realized! Still, it is nice to know I can still read them.
I did the same thing! As my friends have found new blogging homes, I have added them to my "Reading List" on blogger. It's nice knowing that I will be able to keep in contact with them even though we aren't blogging on the same site.
ReplyDeleteWe'll all manage to keep in touch. There were some nice features at Multiply, like the Notes. It's their loss. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe're all getting there slowly but yes it is a pain!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting all my stuff consolidated to help. I am not going to be blogging three or four places. Just too much work since I can't cross post.
