So I have been reading my news feed and it is saying that Google Reader is about to be no more?? I am confused - I acutally never switched over to Google Reader - I just always log into my blog through Blogger - so what am I missing??
Is my blog going to go Bye - Bye? Am I going to lose all of my posts from years ago?? Do I sign up for a Bloglovin account and everything gets transferred or is it a fresh start??
Can someone please explain this to me??

Along with Google reader, Google is also doing away with Google Friend Connect (GFC), or how I follow my blogs currently. (That was a LOT of googles!) So by signing in to your dashboard, you will no longer be able to see the blogs you follow.
I am by no means an expert, but my understanding is that while Blogger (which is not going away) is the Google tool (.blogspot) for blogging, Reader is another Google tool to feed/read others' blogs (and for them to read yours) which links automatically to Blogger. Reader is going away, so if you use the default "follow" option on a blogspot, it feeds to Reader and you'll need to have another one set up by July or you will not be able to see the blogs you follow.
If you haven't been using googlereader, then the change won't affect you at all.
