feedly me seymour

Witty aren’t I? I am just in that kind of mood and every time I think about Feedly I start singing the song from Little Shop of Horrors. Luckily, Feedly isn’t a little shop of horrors. I started out this plan of researching both readers and picking the best one thinking Feedly would be the winner. Then I got on bloglovin’ and I was so enamoured I didn’t think I would go back to Feedly. Then I remembered I am my father’s daughter and we research all options. Remember when betamax and VHS came out? Dad waited until some of the big studios backed VHS. Smart man, he never had to replace his out dated betamax tapes. So my reader research continues.

I am glad it has because Feedly is turning out to be a great option and a strong front runner. It took me a while to get used to the layout of Feedly. I am not a fan of feature posts at the top and then rest of the posts below that.

After a little poking around though I realized I could customize the layout and now it looks a little like a Pinterest page which I am enjoying. When I stop enjoying that I can change to another format. I still can’t believe I stuck with Google reader when this was out there.

I also realized I can change the theme, which is just a color theme but I am a big fan of customizable. Isn’t that a great shade of green? I think all the options to customize Feedly is really it’s best feature. That preference link in the sidebar is just full of options.

The main reasons I think I Feedly could keep me fed

• Can you see in the left sidebar the words blogging and inspiration? Those are tags I can create to organize my saved posts. Now I can pretend to be organized online too!
• I can not only follow blogs I can also follow news sources. I don’t follow any but the option is very nice
• This seems to be the most popular choice of other readers so if I stick with this I shouldn’t need to worry down the road that it will be closing and I have to start this project all over again.

because sharing just feels good...
