Blogspot is one of the most popular online blogging platforms, so there's a good chance you'll want to follow some of them. While many Blogspot blogs have a Follow button that allows you to quickly add them to your reading list, many other Blogspot blogs don't. Fortunately, following these blogs is almost as easy as using the Follow button. See step 1 below to learn how to do both.
