That Time Google Reader Died (Or A Short Tutorial on How to Make it Easier for Readers to Comment in BlogLovin')

Two posts in one day? Crazy, right?

Since there are so many people making the switch to BlogLovin’ today, I thought I’d share a helpful tutorial to make the transition a little easier.

I’ve been a fan of BlogLovin’ for quite a while now. Thanks to Lindsay, I made the switch last summer. Many people have issues with BL because you sometimes have to leave the reader in order to comment on someone’s blog... that is, if the comment box is embedded in the post.

But there is an better way! If you follow these few steps, it will allow readers to stay in BL while commenting on your blog and make the whole process much easier. It’s super simple.

This is how you get this:


Step 1: Log in to your blogger account. Then, find the drop down menu and select settings.


Step 2: Find the 'posts and comments' tab. Click it.

 

Step 3: Find 'comment location.' Change it to 'popup window.' Click save, and voilà!


Please do this in order for it to be a smoother transition for all of us!

Hope this helps!

I was so confused by the flood of emails from BlogLovin about my new followers ... until I logged onto my Google Reader and saw they were closing on July 1. Nooooo!!! It's such a clean, easy interface. :( I do have a BlogLovin account, but now I need to go find a tutorial to easily switch my feeds over to BlogLovin .... thanks for this comment tip!

I feel like I am the only person who HATES Bloglovin' I think it's annoying to get those emails every day that I usually just delete them. Maybe I just need to SHORTEN my list on Bloglovin' so I don't have a billion blogs coming up... Hmm...
