I would MISS you TERRIBLY!!!
We have several other options in order to follow WhipperBerry…
- You can Subscribe to WhipperBerry via Feedburner and receive all of my posts directly in your inbox… the easiest and most convenient way!
- You can follow WhipperBerry's RSS feed via Feedburner. All you need to do in select your desired reader and you will never miss another WhipperBerry post EVER!!
- Another option is to follow WhipperBerry via Facebook. I update my page daily and always have some kind of goodie to share or chat about. Today we talked about our favorite books.
- Twitter is another great way to follow WhipperBerry.
- You can follow my boards on Pinterest or follow my quirky side via Instagram!
With so many different ways to follow WhipperBerry the whole GFC thing shouldn't be an issue! You may have already noticed I removed my GFC follower widget last week so we can get used to it. I know… breath! We can all make it through this change.
I just switched over to follow you on bloglovin.com. I don’t know if you can see your followers there but at least I will get your posts! I follow you on Pinterest and Facebook too 🙂 Obviously- I enjoy your blog!
Maybe because I have a blog through Blogspot, but I still get you in my feed! Yay! I was worried, and now relieved.
switched to get your feed in reader 🙂 I wouldn’t want to miss a thing!
I know a lot of bloggers are adding that linky tool to replace GFC but I have been hesitant to do so – would you share your thoughts on that?!
Kristen- I would be happy to. I am choosing not to install the Linky tool for a couple of reasons. One, you never know when that may disappear as well. Two, I feel like we have so many other great tools like Facebook, Twitter and Feedburner to help our readers stay connected. Adding one more thing is just unnecessary. I like that I can free up the real estate on my sidebar and not feel bogged down with that “number” always looming over my head. It was actually quite freeing to remove the GFC widget from my sidebar. I work really hard to create quality content for those of you who take a few minutes of your day to stop by to see what I’ve been up to. I no longer want to be driven by numbers I want to just be happy creating and sharing with who ever is willing to stop by for some inspiration. That’s the bottom line…
That my be way more than you were looking for, but it’s how I feel.
kisses
