Since the big hub-bub last night with Google Reader, everyone has freaked out and moved to Bloglovin’. I’ve had a Bloglovin’ account for a while, but got overwhelmed when I added so many blogs, that eventually I just started typing in the URLs of blogs I wanted to read daily.
Because everyone started jumping back on the Bloglovin’ bandwagon, I couldn’t help but wonder…
Is there a way to change my Bloglovin’ URL so there aren’t numbers in it?!
and so my search began.
Now, this is TECHNICALLY the URL to your Bloglovin’ profile, but your blog shows up right underneath for friends to follow. I was able to get help from a friend (Hey Mandy!) to figure out how to do it, and I thought I’d share my knowledge with y’all. So here goes:
STEP 1:
Sign into Bloglovin and find your picture and name on the top right hand corner. There should be a little downward arrow by your name. Click it.
STEP 2:
Scroll down to “Settings” and click it.
STEP 3:
After you click “Settings” it should bring you to a page that looks like this. Initially mine didn’t have this stuff under “Profile Info”, but if there is something to click there, click it and it will look like mine. Fill out your Profile Info and specifically fill out the Username.
It’s my recommendation that you put your username as the same thing that is your blog URL. For example, my blog is www.thevintagemodernwife.com, so I made my Bloglovin’ URL www.bloglovin.com/thevintagemodernwife. I find that this helps readers find your blog better, and honestly when you’re trying to give a friend your URL, you don’t want to have to look it up or memorize a whole slew of numbers.
Once you’re done, click “Save” at the bottom.
STEP 4:
Sign out of Bloglovin’ and type in your new URL to make sure it works properly. Your page should look similar like mine if you’ve done it correctly.
Now you’re done!
Go forth and share your new Bloglovin’ URL with your friends and tell them to follow you!
I’d love if you followed me on Bloglovin’ as well. You can CLICK HERE to add me or click the “+” on the left sidebar of my blog.

Very helpful! Thank you! Only thing is- that’s your bloglovin profile, not the URL to your blog feed. But I guess it doesn’t really matter because your blog is right under it anyway! Haha

Thanks for sharing all this information with me. I am a new Bloglovin’ user because Google Reader is breaking up with me.
Maybe you know the answer to a few Bloglovin’ questions I have:
Can I change my profile picture if I don’t have Facebook?
How do I get my entire post to show in the reader instead of just a short little paragraph? (Do I want that? Does that keep my site visit number down?)
Thanks!

On the main Bloglovin’ page where you see the little blurps on each post, how do I get my picture from my post to show rather than just my words? For example…My St. Patty’s Day post is two pictures and “And now for the Outtakes” My little blup doesn’t show the first picture like other blogs, it just says “and now for the outtakes” Any ideas oh beautiful bloglovin’ guru :)?
