How To add Google Friend Connect to Your Google Blog


Rumors swirled last year about Google discontinuing this feature yet I still have mine. I have been curious because I find it the easiest way to connect with other blogs. I like to click on the blogs that supported me by following my blog and I find it a great way to discover new blogs on my friend's sites. I think it may have been discontinued for non Google platforms. I have a new blog friend who did not know about this feature so I went digging. Google wants us to use Google+ so adding that to your site was easy to find and my friend added that. Sorry darling - not quite the same thing. Google+ is fun however if I just want to see your blog posts they may get lost amidst everything else you may share. The Google Friend Connect feature was a little hard to find but it is still easy to add - and they simplified the title to Followers on the Gadget List.
  First thing you do is go to your blog and click Layout




Click on Add a Gadget

Scroll to the bottom and Voila' - Click Followers


A reader is great for the most current posts however it is not great as a reference point to return to a post you want to revisit or if you want to go to a specific blog.  It is pretty easy when you find where to look. I just posted this because I wanted to help my new friend and anyone else that needed this information. All opinions are my own and this post is not sponsored.

    Oh my goodness, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this! I have been wondering about it for such a long time, but had no idea that I could still add it to my blog! I had it on my old one and thought that I just couldn't add it to my new one! YAY! Thanks again for creating this post!

Silk and Cookies I'll be ready with Silk and cookies so I do not eat all the candy between trick or treaters. Discovering new beverages is a favorite pastime of mine  so when bzzagent.com invited me to try out Silk Almond Coconut Blend I was delighted. It fits right in with my new health program . I should say continuous health program - I am always looking for new ways to enjoy some of my favorite things - just in a healthier way. I tried coconut milk from my local farmer's market as I kept hearing about all the wonderful things it does. It was missing the taste good thing. So this is a great way to baby step my way into the coconut health trend without missing a beat. I was going to write about all the fabulous properties of Silk Almond Coconut Blend then I had a brainstorm - I'll just show you the product info. Note that the Silk Almond Coconut Milk I chose only has 50 calories per serving (1 cup) and there is an unsweetened version with just 35 calories...

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Managing pain is a complex and confusing journey and "Secrets To A Pain Free Life" is giving me a lot of tools to navigate with. The author , Dr..Reza Ghorbani MD , ABIPP, FIPP is a Harvard trained pain management specialist. So I looked up his practice *click here if you want to check him out*   I was curious about the fancy letters in his title too  ABIPP- American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians   FIPP-  Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice  The book "Secrets To A Pain Free Life" packs a lot of information and compassion into its relatively small size. Even some humor as there are quite a few cartoon panels. I was especially pleased to find recipes containing pain fighting herbs ~ especially turmeric! I knew turmeric was good for pain and  look for it in prepared mustard and recently noticed it as an ingredient in Mahatma brand yellow rice. I was telling Mike  (the o...
