New Design and a New Way to Follow!

Hi! I'm Lynda from Curls and a Smile! 
We are so super excited about all the changes that have been made to our awesome blog!
 We have had an ADORABLE update to our blog design thanks to the AMAZING work of

Erin Blecki of Creating & Designing

and our own

Erica Bohrer, Deedee Wills, Ashley Hughes and Cara Carroll!

It's completely adorable and all of us here at Blog Hoppin' want to say
 THANK YOU you for the new, fresh look!

Now, I am sure that many of you have heard all the buzz about how Google Reader has ended as of yesterday. Google Reader was a way to stay in touch with all your favorite blogs, all in one place. It's where I, and probably most of you, followed all my blogs. Now, its gone.....sad face!

But....

Even though Google Reader is no longer available, we now have a FABULOUS new option!

Blog Lovin'

Don't you just love the name?

It's a great website that allows you many of the same functions as google reader, including keeping all your favorite blogs all in one place.

The first thing you need to do is create and account.
Go to www.bloglovin.com

You can create an account using your email or using your facebook credentials.


 Once you have set up, Blog Lovin' will send you an email to verify your email.


 Once you have created the account, you can import the blogs that you follow on google reader.


  Then you are going to follow the sign in directions to import your blogs from Google Reader.


 Tah Dah! Now you have all your blogs in one fabulous place!

You can search categories for all types of blogs, add blogs to your feed through a search and even make folders/groups for your blogs for easy access! Be adventurous and explore the site!
