 SKIP THIS POST IF YOU DON"T USE READER AND DON"T WANT  THE ALTERNATIVE
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THIS TUTORIAL GO
HERE FOR 4 ALTERNATIVES
[if you skip this and want to know info about blogging, please visit TexWisGirl and read her plea to bloggers

Oops! forgot this is a tutorial on  using FEEDLY as your reader.......you can skip the tutorial and
follow Feedly instructions by clicking on link below.

I chose to replace Google Reader now with Feedly. If you don't use Reader you might want to try this since it is even better than the old.

Step 1. click on this link Feedly  and choose your browser and click Get Feedly and it will ask you to log in with Google Reader... Be sure to click that and it will download all your dashboard blogs from Google Reader to Feedly Reader.

  [Feedly CAN be saved to your Favorites or as an ICON on desktop. Mine is on the bookmark bar in Chrome]

Step 2: Click on the title of the post.

[Above is the way your page will look, it will be white. I changed mine to purple or it may look like below if it is set on Today and you have read all your blogs.]

Step 3:  Click on the word preview, very small at top left.

Step 4: Read the post, comment and then click the hard to see X and it will close the post and remove from your reader.

You may want to change your preferences, look under preferences at bottom on the left and read and select you preference.

You can change your fonts, just make it personal or leave it alone, be sure to go to the bottom and  click confirm mark as read if you want them to be gone as you read. they will still be in your dashboard.

Step 5:  Don't Panic.... this just looks hard... also you have until July 1, because if you wait until Google reader is gone, you will had to add your blogs one at a time.

PS I found another way than above that is better to view in.

To read your blogs, Click ALL and here is the list, hove mouse over the end of the line and you will see a clock, square and X.... click on the clock and it takes you to the post in another window. Close when finished commenting, and go to the next one... this will highlight them and you will know what you read. Theresa from TexWisGirl might leave comments that will help so read her comment if you see it.
