BLOG READER/BLOGLOVN'

What is BLOGLOVIN'? 

You’d think that in this day and age, every tech-savvy adult would know.  Well, I didn’t.  Bloglovin’ is a tool for keeping up with blogs and to manage feeds. When you create an account, you are able to follow any blogger on any platform.  You are able to see the latest’s posts from all the blogs you follow in one spot and better yet, you can download the app, to read on the go.

I chose to use BLOGLOVIN’ for the following reasons

1.      See bigger photo thumbnails
2.           Easy to organize, read, and follow
3.      Post comments easily
4.      See regularly updated “explore” feed
5.       Save favorite posts into various collections
6.       Download app for reading “on the go”
