I too was sad about the demise of Google Reader but I use Feedly now to read all my blogs and it's wonderful.

I, too, loved Google Reader! When it was shut down, I switched to Feedly, although I haven't checked it in...years? I no longer have the kind of job where I can read endlessly through posts over lunch or in the morning. I no scroll endlessly through work slack trying to keep up.

The connection between the Google Reader Blogs of yore and the new email newsletters is new to me - it fosters storytelling and connection far more than today's "content creator" blog/sites do.

I recently started writing a travel blog - yes a blog - again. It's a mix of travel prep/planning and hopefully the funny stories from my trips. Everyone I follow focuses on "content creation" instead of meandering travel writing that I love to follow. So I'm trying to do that.
