I Have Google Magic

Since late October, I’ve had some major Google drama. The kind of drama that forced me to make the move to WordPress. If you want to read up on all of the reasons why I left Blogger, be sure to read this post. Anyway, it has been so frustrating for me the last few months because I have not been able to sign into Google Friend Connect to follow any blog.  Not one single blog.

My reader was completely messed up, many were not receiving my feed and any blog I previously followed (before the Google breakdown) did not have my public profile showing. I was a blank blue square on GFC and some blogs couldn’t display my profile at all. It was a complete nightmare.

Up until now.

For whatever reason the stars have aligned and I now have Google magic!!! If I was previously following you, I magically can see your blog again in my reader! And what’s more exciting is that I see my cute little profile picture on your GFC widget. And the really good news for Theta Mom?

I can follow blogs again!!! {Insert AMEN here}

So, I can proudly welcome the “Celebration of Friday Follow” because I can actually do just that. Follow!!! Be sure to check out the blog hop hosted by One 2 Try, Hearts Make Families, and Midday Escapades and get yourself in on the action. It’s a fabulous way to meet some new bloggy friends.

And if you follow me please leave a comment and let me know so that I can follow you. And if you are a new reader, welcome to Theta Mom! I look forward to getting to know you better. Now while I have all of this Google magic, I am off to meet some new followers!

Thanks Jean! And Susan – don’t discontinue Twitter, it’s a great source of getting your links “out there.”

Google does have some issues. I set up a WordPress blog for my official author’s website and couldn’t stand it. Blogger for me is easier to customize the whole master html and the dashboard is quicker to navigate and find things.

But that’s what makes blogging great. Everyone is so different!

I’m glad you can log in to your google account now. Believe me, I agree google can be frustrating!

Have a great weekend.

Glad everything is working for you now. When I switched over from blogger to wordpress I was unable to add my original google friends connect widget to my blog, so I had to start a completely new one, that sucked.

Blogger does have “issues”, doesn’t it? I’m not smart enough to move to WP so I’ll have to stick it out though.

I hope you’re having a great weekend!

I have been having trouble with google friend too! I can’t email anyone through it. No one was getting my messages, for some reason it was going to their spam folder. Anyway glad it’s working for you now. We love your blog!!

I’m glad to hear your Google drama is solved. I use TypePad, but we’ve toyed with the idea of switching to WordPress. BTW, I’m a new reader :-)
