Blogger as far as I know doesn't have a follow comments system like WP which is equally frustrating. I follow blogs by a email address used just for that to avoid filling up my other email address. It is a pity there isn't one good system to do this.

I think I am using Feedburner, almost by default, for RSS on the current blog. <br />That's an interesting point about navigating back through posts; I'll have to see whether I can arrange for that. It would be awkward not to have it! I would think Chrome users at least should be able to use auto-fill for the comment forms, but I haven't tested that.

There should be no difficulty about following the new format by email, so far as posts are concerned. Only comment notifications would be affected, and it seems many of us rely on memory to one degree or another for that ;-) Curiously, I have used comment notification most often when commenting on blogs I don't actually follow, as it's harder for me to remember to check back. Thanks for commenting here :) I hope you will go ahead with your blog!Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-46709371044047850542016-09-24T12:57:24.541-07:002016-09-24T12:57:24.541-07:00I don't follow blogs anymore, rather I use the...I don't follow blogs anymore, rather I use the Blog List gadget set to show titles of most recent posts (you can see this--"Blogs I read"--on the right side of my blog). I pretty much totally rely on this for blog reading. I use "Notify me" frequently, especially if I have a question, so omitting that would be a bit problematic but wouldn't keep me from reading.Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-38936100024152568062016-09-24T11:39:18.722-07:002016-09-24T11:39:18.722-07:00Blogger is the only one with a user-friendly archi...Blogger is the only one with a user-friendly archive - which I use on my own and the blogs I read.<br />WP just opens ALL the posts for that month.

But that would have to work because I don't use any other method of following. I like to have all the sites I follow in one place, otherwise it all gets too time consuming. <br />The other thing I have noticed about non Blogger/WP sites, such as Weebly, is the inability to click on 'previous' or some such to go back to an earlier post. This is how I follow up on comment responses. It's also annoying to have to fill out personal details each and every time, but as some people mention they have to do that on my blog I'd better not say too much! I wish I could find out why that is, so I can sort it out. rusty duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238493821002258459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-73231742468558475172016-09-24T04:57:03.390-07:002016-09-24T04:57:03.390-07:00I get email notifications for blogs that I follow....I get email notifications for blogs that I follow. I have tried Feedly and other aggregating sites, but they are just an extra thing for me to go to, so I prefer the email. If I don't feel like reading, I just delete. I have not needed to search your blog, so I am no help there. When I do comment on blogs I have gone back and forth about being notified of responses. I find it pretty easy to remember to check back because I was engaged enough to comment in the first place, so am thinking that NOT being notified makes for a slightly less bulging inbox. I am thinking of beginning a gardening blog, so I first decided to follow a bunch of them to see what is out there and see if there is anything I can add. I low over 100 right now and some of them are amazing! Best of luck with your re-design.

It seems we all use about the same mode for tracking replies ;-) I'll definitely be able to archive in the new mode, which is probably the most important search function overall; and I'll have to investigate the options on tagging...

It notifies me whenever they have a new post, although lately it seems to occasionally throw up an old post as though it's new, which is a bit confusing. My method for tracking replies to comments is the same as Kris, including the part about "Some blogs seem to automatically notify of all blog comments rather than only those directed to specific commentators". I never have searched within your blog...when I have on others its been because I remember, and want to find, a certain post. Good luck with whatever decision you make!<br />danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-8113610091332875432016-09-22T20:45:23.274-07:002016-09-22T20:45:23.274-07:00Thanks a million for the detailed reply, Kris!

I never seem to check the few blogs I've followed via email; they get lost in the stack. I wonder how many of us have developed alternative methods of doing most of these things...!<br /> <br />You're probably right about the updates; I'm getting impatient, I guess!Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-40062594656431824682016-09-22T19:20:54.696-07:002016-09-22T19:20:54.696-07:00I've never signed up to follow a blog.

I bookmark blogs I come across that I like and, if I decide I want to make a regular practice of checking in, I include the link on the blogs list posted in the right-hand column of my blog. I've set that link to identify the most recent posting date of each blog shown and Blogger shows posts I haven't yet read in a different color font. Until recently, I had Blogger sort my blog list by the most recent new entries but something went amiss with that function and all non-Blogger blogs dropped to the bottom of the list (apparently because Blogger was not reliably capturing the posting dates) so my sort is currently alphabetical. I periodically search blogs using labels but I no longer use reply notification to track follow-up comments as it was clogging up my e-mail box. (Some blogs seem to automatically notify of all blog comments rather than only those directed to specific commentators.) I check back on responses to comments in what is admittedly a haphazard manner.<br /><br />Good luck with your changes! Although I've had problems with the Blogger-Wordpress interface too, I've found they usually resolve on their own in time. I suspect updates on one platform or the other cause most of the breakdowns.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
