How do you find and follow blogs?
I am playing with Mail Chimp but already had the RSS button on my page for Feedburner (another RSS option that lets you get blogs delivered to you by email). This service depends on people signing up through the email link on the blog.
So, three simple solutions – Use the form to sign up with your email at my blog, on the home page. https://sites.google.com/site/geekgrandmatechforwriters/home
OR, pick one of the two new blog readers, Bloglovin' and Feedly
If using Bloglovin',
1) Go to Bloglovin' and create a free account, or sign-in with your Facebook account.
Notice that it looks a little like Pinterest—the layout is very visual and asks you for some of your interests. However, you can also type in writers or writing and get blogs on that topic.
2) Search for blogs by their name or the blogger’s name – or just copy and paste the URL from the blog you want to follow.
What is it? A blog reader--It pulls all of the content you want into one place to make it easy for you to read a set of blogs. Here is an article that compares Feedly to Bloglovin.

Want to make it easy for others to follow you and YOUR BLOG on bloglovin? Get a widget! You can add it to your webpage.

If using Feedly, you can log in with your Facebook or Google credentials. Here is a print screen of Feedly’s search. Again, use the exact URL or topic.
