Important: Google Reader quits from the 1st of July!

Hello Everybody! This is a bit off-topic but it's still an important message that I want to share. Yes it's true. Google Reader quits from the 1st of July 2013. So, what about Google Friend Connect? That was the next question that popped in my mind after I read the announcement on Google. I seriously have no idea since it wasn't mentioned in the announcement. However I wouldn't be surprised if GFC would be next. I will be sad if all my 1000+ followers that i have built up in 3 years will be gone. In this blogpost I'm going to explain how you can export the people that you are following on Google Reader or Google Friend Connect to Bloglovin' but first here are other ways to follow my blog - follow via Bloglovin', Facebook and/or HelloCotton.

1. BLOGLOVIN' 
Bloglovin' is a very useful and easy tool to follow blogs. Everybody can join this website, even if you don't have a blog yourself. I seriously use this every day, since it's easy to see which blogposts are new and which blogposts I haven't read. I do have the impression that people in Europe are using it more than people in Asia or in the US, hopefully this will change. You can follow me on my bloglovin' page - link to page and click on the follow button.

2. FACEBOOK 
You can also follow my blog on Facebook. Just go to my facebook page (link to facebook page) and click on "Like". Make sure to click on "Get Notifications" as well. I don't only post my latest blogpost here, but you are also able to see my lifestyle pictures and other interesting stuff.


3. HELLOCOTTON 
Hellocotton has the same concept as Bloglovin' but it's quite a new website and not everybody is using it yet. However, I'm sure that this will become more and more popular in the future. I love it that you are also able to find new interesting bloggers there. Follow me on Hellocotton: http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/memorabledays.

1.) We will first start with Bloglovin'. Go to this link: http://www.bloglovin.com/import (no worries, this page is save).
2.) You will see the screen below, click on the blue button: Google Reader.
