Bloglovin Questions

I have been reading many posts about Bloglovin, and July 1st being the final time for Google+Reader? However, I'm lost with all of this. I did join Bloglovin. I don't, however, like the way the widget appears on my blog and can't seem to change it. Need some help there...Questions:
1. Do you have to go to Bloglovin to read the daily blog posts?
2. Can I still get them via email as before?
3. Is it a good thing to link to Facebook with this?
4. If you link to Facebook, is that a separate page just for your blog? Not your personal Facebook page?
5. Are there any other hints on how to get additional blog readers?

I appreciate any help anyone is able to offer!
