About Bloglovin

Reading blogs can be a pain in the ass. We created bloglovin´ so you wouldn’t have to visit un-updated blogs, open ten windows in your browser, or forget your favorite blogs' web-addresses. With bloglovin´, we wanted to make your blog-reading fun and easy.

Sounds sweet! How does it work?

Just add all the blogs you want to follow, and then you’ll get notified every time one of your favorite blogs has written a new blog post.

Why did you build bloglovin'?

We started building websites in a garage in Täby, Sweden, and before we started bloglovin´, we were working on our second failed web project: a fashion-community. To get feedback on that idea, we got help from three fashion-bloggers — one of them was Carolina Engman. Somewhere between discussions and coffee breaks, she checked if any of her favorite blogs had updated. So she picked up a laptop and started typing in their web-addresses. A bunch of new windows flew up in her web-browser. Some blogs were updated and others weren’t. It. Was. Chaos.
Here was an opportunity for improvement. Wouldn’t it be sweet if you had one site that notified you every time one of your favorite bloggers had written something new?
We scrapped the fashion-community and started over from scratch. Two weeks later, we had our first, somewhat rusty, version of bloglovin´ up and running. One week later, over 1000 people had signed up.
Sure, there were other blog readers out there, but they were technical, boring, and cluttered with features. We wanted to build something for the rest of us. For everyone who doesn't care about the technology behind it. For everyone who just wants things to work.

Winter Forest Floor

A snowy shot looking up from the forest floor this winter.  It was a nice day for a walk in the woods a few weeks ago, you can't really tell in the photo but it was snowing a little that day.

Last April

These Photos are from last April but I thought since the snow is melting that we should take a look ahead to spring, which seems to be just around the corner.

Deer

We went back to the bar where they feed the dear and saw this doe out there eating.  I was amazing how close we could get to them but too close and they do run off.

Northwoods scene

I like to get low to the ground and shoot up toward the sky, I like that way the trees look against the blue.  The lack of leave allows for more light to get through.

Random snowy trees

These poor trees didn't stand a chance with all the snow we had this winter.  The branches on the bigger ones were very heavy with snow.
