Please tell me the rumor about Google disabling our followers application is that...just a rumor?? I read on another blog that Google Friend Connect is being disabled as of March 1, which means we may lose all of our followers! I swear every day seems to be more and more headaches with Blogger. They need to leave what works alone and stop messing with stuff! Supposedly, they are replacing it with something else, but I have little faith in how well it will work given that other apps don't work properly already.
I have added a new Follower application on my left side bar. Pleaseeee click Follow in that one cause I don't want to lose you precious crafters/stitchers/quilters that I have had the joy of interacting with on my blog. This application is fairly new but many bloggers are using it already. It really is much more than a followers application. You can organize the blogs you follow and do other things of which I can't say cause I haven't play with the program much yet. But it has gotten great reviews from what I understand.
Spread the word on your blogs my friends. Perhaps the new application will work but I would rather be prepared and have another application in place in case the new Google one doesn't work.
Editors Note: Official announcement on Google's blog.

I now retract all I said above because the changes only affect Non-Blogger based websites. So if you use Blogger for your blog...you are fine. Phew!! Thank you to Madame Samm for clarifying what in the world is going on. You can read her post
here. She is great with Blogger so I have confidence in anything she says.
However, my new Linky Tool will remain for those who those who do not have blogger profiles but wish to follow my blog. Time to actually get stitching...
