Masters Monday {Staying In the Loop}

Hi there Trixie Scraps fans, and welcome to the final Masters Monday of April 2013. As some of you may know, Google Reader will no longer be available as of July 1, 2013, so we wanted to make sure that all of you who use this service to follow our blog have an alternate way of staying in touch. We have a few suggestions for you, so lets dive right in.

The Feed Reader Option: Feedly

For those of you who want to continue us via a feed reader, we suggest using this service at https://www.feedly.com. This site will allow you to seamlessly transition from Google Reader, and even allows you to import directly from your Google Reader account. Since it is a separate service, there are some differences, but Feedly is expecting many users to migrate to its service with the closure of Google Reader, and has posted some great tips for Google Reader users migrating to feedly to aid in the transition.

The Newsletter Option: FeedBlitz

If you prefer to have our daily blog post forwarded directly to your email inbox, then FeedBlitz may be the solution for you. You can quickly and and easily sign up for this option by entering your email address in the box on the right hand side of the Trixie Scraps blog. I’ve highlighted this area in the screencap below.

The Social Media Option: Facebook

Are you constantly connected to your Facebook account? Then following our blog posts couldn’t be easier, as all of our blog posts are broadcast to our Facebook page each day. Simply head to the Trixie Scraps Facebook page and “Like” us. Then make sure to check mark “Show in News Feeds” so we show up on your front page. Take a look at the image below to see what I mean. If you like, you can also choose to “Get Notifications,” which will put any posts from our page in your notifications window, too!

One of these options should be perfect for you.
