As we all should have heard by now, Google will be shutting down its rss reader business entirely. This is a very sad disappointment for publishers, and many of us are switching to a new way to get our readers to get the same information. If you look at the top of my blog you will notice a symbol that looks like the wave in the picture above. Basically, it allows you to follow the blog and get updates on any new posts by delivering them to your email. The reader is a way to read that post, and it could manage it so if you were subscribed to multiple pages and read them from within the app. So I will be giving you my recommendation for a new feed reader.
My recommendation is another service that goes by the name of Feedly and to put things in perspective in 2 days after Google announced the end of google reader it has gained or 500,000 users. Now that is a lot and Google has a lot petitions being started so that the users can fight for their product. Unfortunately Google is going to be shutting it down so everyone has fled to Feedly. You will first want to go to their website which is here this is a third party service for feed reading.
You can use Feedly in your browser with a Google Chrome extension, on your Apple device, or on the Google Play store. This will allow you to access all of your feeds whether you are on the go or from your desktop. When you first sign up you can link it to your Google Reader unfortunately with its closing I don't recommend you doing it this way but signing up and adding the sites by creating an account the long way.
This application has a very clean layout and is very easy to use even if you have not used Google Reader. Now please remember for my website you can get the messages to your email without the use of a Feed Reader. Now I do recommend that you use these because it is very clean and it won't fill up your Inbox. Below are the steps to creating a Feedly account.
1. Sign up for an account here
2. If you were an ex google reader user then all of them will already be synced into your account.
There will be updates to this post incase Google changes their mind and I will be trying to find easier ways for you the readers to use Feedly for my website,
