How To Use Bloglovin’ On Your Phone and Computer Together

When news first broke of Google Reader closing down, two clear choices came up as replacement options - Feedly and Bloglovin’. I originally took to Feedly, but after too many glitches including not being able to clean up my blog list to only those that I read now, I switched to Bloglovin’ and haven’t looked back.

When you are on the computer, you have to open each blog post in a new window. That’s the one really annoying thing about it. So instead, I use the Bloglovin’ app on my phone to read all my blogs. Not only does it mean I can read my blogs on the go whenever I have some spare time - in bed, on the train, on the toilet… But it means I can bookmark the blogs that I want to go back to later on the computer to comment on, enter a giveaway, Pin an image, etc.

To read the post, you just tap on the snippet and it will load the blog post in full (unless the blogger only shares partial posts in their feed, in which case you have to click through “View Original Post” to view it all). To bookmark, simply click the “Like” button on the front page, or the Heart in the post.

Then when you’re on your computer, head to the Liked Posts option on the right-hand menu bar. Then click through to each post and do what you want to do! I sometimes “unlike” posts to keep track of which blogs I’ve gone to, or sometimes just leave them liked if I’ve finished them all.

On my blog today, I’m also sharing how to move from Google to Bloglovin’ - from importing your Google Reader, to getting your readers to follow your blog via Bloglovin’. Next week I’ll be sharing about how to improve your Bloglovin’ setup to make it a bit more user friendly!
