Feedly did not provide a good way for me to organize my blogs that I am following via Blogger's Reading List. Apparently Google Reader had them categorized as "Blogs I'm Following" or something like that. I decided to re-organize them in Feedly to "Genealogy" and Non-Genealogy," but I haveJennifer Sepulvadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167830746219581066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-64649200296871256922013-03-14T22:00:07.759-04:002013-03-14T22:00:07.759-04:00Thanks Lorine.

I was looking around and found that they had it. It's called embed. Because of the high demand, they took it off and are planning to bring it back this summer as a paid feature. <br />I agree, there is no need to rush, we can test out the different Smadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09765946753514711483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-34328855406534417122013-03-14T13:38:24.481-04:002013-03-14T13:38:24.481-04:00Smadar - I finally got Feedly to work on Firefox a...Smadar - I finally got Feedly to work on Firefox and have transferred all my 361 genealogy blog feeds over to it. This buys me time to think about if I want to leave them there or use something else. No need to panic, July is still a long way off <br /><br />I use Pulse for other news feeds and don't want to put my genealogy blog feeds on it. <br /><br />I'm going to check out the Sage Olive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-63500094653947331232013-03-14T13:17:28.749-04:002013-03-14T13:17:28.749-04:00Thanks for the suggestions of alternative readers....Thanks for the suggestions of alternative readers. I was starting to get panicky about how to choose and I value your suggestions as well as your readers opinions. Personally, I love google reader and am quite sad they have decided to shut it down. I love seeing it on my blogger dashboard!<br />There is a petition circulating to encourage them to reconsider.

Moving now, before that happens, is unlikely to be a wise move.<br /><br />I use Google Reader all the time via an app on my iPad. Just about all the RSS apps on the iPad rely on Google Reader.
