Felt Google Reader Logo

Sigh. It feels like so long ago that I made my Google Reader buddies’ new babies Google Reader logo onesies.  

Those of you who subscribe to blogs might already know or have noticed that Google Reader, a super popular RSS feed reader, is going away this summer. Poof! As a Google Reader addict myself, I was sad to hear this news. At the moment, I’m considering new readers like Feed.ly, Feedbin & Bloglovin’ to fill the future Greader-shaped void in my life. If there’s a reader you’re particularly partial to, holler at me in the comments. I’m currently way open to suggestions.

RSS Feed Update

I have a new RSS feed address you guys. Sorry to make you jump through a hoop to keep up with Hands Occupied, but to continue getting Hands Occupied in your reader, grab the RSS feed here.
