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!
Hi Theta Mom. I’m a newbie follower!
I have been thinking about WordPress. I own my own domain but am hosted by blogger.
Was it a headache to switch over?
You can get an Amen to that Google Magic! Happy to have you join us on Friday Follow. Happy following!

That is awesome to hear that everything is finally working out.
AMEN!
Happy Friday!
So glad you can follow again! I’m making the switch next month (and using Lauren from Restored316 since she came so highly recommended by you), so I’m hoping that I don’t lost my Google Friend Connect too!!
I am soooo excited you are making the move! And Lauren ROCKS! My GFC moved over.
Happy Friday Follow
Yes, I know…on Wednesday I couldn’t get into one single blogger/blogspot blog without a 20 minute wait. I’m totally serious. Ughhhh.
Thanks for following me for FF.
You can find me at Ma Vie Folle ..and.. My Wellness Blog
Glad you got your Google magic back.
You were showing up as a gray square on my GFC…
Buckeroomama – I know, and now I see my little face…yay!!!
I just found out about the Friday Follow it is awesome! I already met so many great bloggy moms.
Also my traffic jumped yesterday in part to your time out meme. SO thank you!
And thank you for following my blog. Hopefully I can keep you interests with my posts
Have a great friday!
I’m following you now from Friday Follow. this is fun.
Happy Friday Follow
Yayayay!!! I’ve had some MAJA issues with Google. I switched to Firefox…it’s like the stars aligned!
SO happy you are able to follow blogs now! And see them in your Reader!! Yay!
Oh–and of course I follow you
I’d be crazy not to!!
xoxo
I’m glad that the stars have finally aligned! Thanks for following me
Ladies – I’m so glad that the stars have aligned, too! AMEN!!!
You know I’m a follower
It is all so confusing. I think I will stay where I am.
Glad it is all working out now.
Yesterday I started having problems. Whenever I follow someone it has the wrong name and none of my information. Is this the problem you had? So frustrating! I am going to make the switch. I own my own domain so not sure what I am waiting for…aghh!
You left me a comment that you were following me — but I wanted to tell you that I FOLLOWED YOU FIRST! 😉 Glad your Google Mojo is all back in order!
Oooh, it sounds funky girl. Yes Tina – I was a “blank” profile for-e-ve-r and just like magic, it’s all good now…that’s why I made the move. I figured if funky stuff was going on with my account, my Blogger blog would have been next…
Hi there! Stopping by from Friday Follow. Can’t wait to read more of your blog!
Thanks Melanie – Off to check out your blog…
Woo hoo for Google Magic!! When I finally took the time to go through my GFC friends, half of them I wasn’t following publicly. An easy fix, but frustrating because why would I want to follow the other way?
Holy cow. About freaking time, eh??
Yay for you and everyone who gets you as a follower!
I am relatively new to blogging and I am constantly amazed at how many blogs are out there. I love finding fun new (new to me) blogs, like yours 😀
Following from Friday Follow! Have a great weekend ☺

Yep, Google makes me pretty crazy at times, too. Have a great weekend ~ ♥
YAY for Google Magic! I am sure that was incredibly frustrating. I follow you and it appears you follow me already
Oh my, I hope that never happens to me! So glad everything’s working for you now! Been thinking about buying a domain and switching but I just don’t htink I’m ready yet! I’m already following you
Friday Follower! Happy to meet you!
I follow you here and on twitter…
Happy Friday and good follow moments!
Happy Day!! I am having some google issues myself! Maybe I need to make the switch.
Hey lady! Meant to congratulate you on your recent Google success! Woohoo! It’s nice to be able to use that GFC feature to connect with all the awesome bloggers out there!
Also wanted to thank you for following me, as I’ve mentioned before, I really enjoy and admire your blog!
Have a great weekend!

Yayyyy, that’s awesome! I made the move from WordPress to Blogger last year and now I sometimes wonder if I should have just stayed – but oh well!
I read your post on why you switched and I can totally understand that – WordPress is a LOT better about Support issues, among other things.
Well glad to hear that everything is working again!
Happy Friday Follow – Rita @ http://one2try.blogspot.com/
Thanks for following my blog! I’m following you now!
Happy Friday!
Friday following!

Friday Follower!
Oh, google makes me CRAZY sometimes. Ugh!
Glad to hear everything is working out.
I’m so glad you Google problems seem to be fixed! My switch to WordPress was the best thing I ever did, but since I’m not self-hosted, I’m planning that change in the next couple of months. Then I’ll be able to add a Google Friend Connect widget too!
At the moment, I still have Google Followers on my old Blogger blog (which I’m not using anymore at all), and they somehow are getting the feed from my WordPress blog through that. It is so strange…there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the way it all works with Google!
I’m so glad I joined in with Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday! It was so fun to find great new blogs, and I got a lot of new traffic and comments on my blog too. Thanks so much for hosting!
I was wondering what happen to you on my follow. Glad its working now.
Oh sorry I forgot to say that I follow your blog!
Yep. That happened to me once too.
Erin – I am so glad to hear you got some traffic from the Thursday meme yesterday! Woo Hoo! We always love to meet new bloggy freinds…looking forward to time out next month with you!
I’m following! And I’m glad you got it worked out.
I am contemplating the move to WordPress and am going to read the post you linked above…
AWESOME!!
WHOOOO HOOOOOOO!
I am so excited for you! I know how frustrating it was been but I am glad to hear everything seems to have been resolved!
I’m so excited the stars aligned and it worked!! I am considering the move to wordpress as well and have set up a dummy blog so I get used to it all. I think I will go straight to self hosted so I can keep the GFC- and hopefully it still works! Congratulations on your google magic!
Was already following from FF. Come and visit me!
