Oh bugger! Apparently Google change is in the air and I’m not loving it. Any change to do with my computer really freaks me out. Just when I get used to something and feel comfortable using it up flashes an update or a new download required or a cancelation of something I’ve really enjoyed. Google Friend Connect for example.
Melissa over at Suger Coat It has just outed the big change for blog followers using Google Friend Connect and if you pop on over to Danimezza you will get a little more detail about the ins and outs of it all.
I’m a bit of a der brain when it comes to this sort of thing but from my very limited understanding, Google is taking back their ownership role of Google Friend Connect which will mean that it will only be available for Blogger users. My blog is a Blogger one so I’ll still have the Google Connect widget on my blog BUT all of my friends who are wordpress or typepad or anyone other than blogger will be lost!
Agh! So, I’ve done a little bit of snooping around and found Linky Followers, a new followers link that is free and will cater for everyone. I’ve gone and popped it on my side bar, just under the Google Friend Connect one for all of you who are not blogger users to follow with.
So sorry to be a pain but if you are not a Blogger blogger would you mind re-following Feather & Nest again using Linky Followers? I don’t want to lose you guys!
Thanks.

I'm definitely a 'Dashboard' follower, so it's going to be hard to adjust to other styles of following. But adjust we must!
As a fellow blogger blogger (?!) I can still be your Google Friend. x
PS - Kim, ya gotta ditch the word veri! Have you seen what they've done to it? Worse than EVER! x
I'm with you,so sick of all the changes that don't improve anything!
