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 for the follow, I am now following you. Your blog is so stylish
Thanks so much Sara!
Glad the stars are aligning in your universe. My stars must all be out of whack because Blogger has been acting really stupid for me. Did you get my email last night with my mailing address for the Brag Company? So happy I won!
Yay for google magic! I follow you!
I am now following you via Google Friend Connect! Hope you visit my site soon too. All the best! Ivette

Oooh now I understand your last comment. Super cool! I love reading your blog and am glad your Google drama has subsided. Hopefully no more glitches.
Cheers and have a beautiful weekend!
I am following. Stopping by from Friday Follow.
I love that you are soooo good at bringing the community together and enabling everyone to meet these other awesome women that they may not have had thr chance to meet. I have discovered some really inspiring women and some great blogs since I have been a follower!
I like your new WP format…was it easy to switch to? Glad you hear you have your Google powers back!
I am stopping by from Friday Follow. I am now your newest follower. Glad to hear the magic of google is working in your life again…it is amazing how lost you can feel without it isn’t it? Have a great weekend !
I follow you!
I think your google magic was more like a Java Update.
I don’t know why but when I have had problems……….I updated my Java & then I got google magic too.
It’s that stuipd Adobe flash player 10 still giving me headaches.
I update it weekly & still get shut down & as Adobe Flash player 10 warning.
Glad you got your back on track!
I have a blog just for fun..don’t do giveaways & really have not blogged much lately. I been meaning too but life gets in the way.
I’m here from Friday Follow. I’m new to blogging and I am so impressed your blog and the others I’ve seen today. I have a lot to learn!
Great News! I found you on some FF links…I am glad I did!

Hi I’m a new Friday Follow Hope to see you at http://thecookinglady.com
Thanks so much for the great feedback and the follows ladies! Off to check out your blogs now!
Terrific news. You can follow me, but I’m not always sure where I’m going…
I don’t know if I follow you, lol, but I definitely subscribe and have you on my Google reader, which is just as good IMO because your blog updates show up on my comp immediately! Follow me on my blog

Oh, just wanted to add my Twitter name!
Okay, I am posting with you for the first time here. I have been a lurker/reader since I first found you. Never posting and I have found that it is not “standard etiquette” LOL
I am in the process of starting my Blog (Hope that we get all design elements in this weekend) – I found Blogs by researching how to start one and found yours during a series of searches I did. (I would search certain subjects/topics that I like and search only in Blogs)
From that I also would visit everyone’s linky pages and blogrolls and found even more great Blogs! I have found many I love to visit very often and many I try and visit at least once a week.
I want to let you know I have admired your Blog from the other side of my computer screen and feel I should actually post for you now. I look forward to reading more and visiting often.
I’m your newest follower from Friday Follow. My blog is a bit narrow-minded –I guess the word is “niche” in the blogging biz –so feel free to check it out if that subject interests you. You know, out of curiosity and whatnot 😉
Happy Friday!
Already follow you, but I just wanted to comment saying Congrats to your “MAGIC!”
Yay! I saw the comment on my blog that you were able to follow again. Glad you are back up and running!
Yay so glad its up and running for you!
Yay for being able to follow using Google again! That had to be frustrating – I know it really would have gotten to me!
Yay, that is so exciting!!! I have a slightly different problem with following…some blogs don’t update in my following thing on my blogger home page. Anyhow, glad you can follow people now!
Already following you
Found you from Friday Follow!
I am so happy that you can join us. Although now I’m trying to get moved over to WordPress myself. Cross your fingers for me.
Wow, I am impressed that you are doing it on your own Tami! Good luck and can’t wait to see the new design! And to my new followers – Yay! So glad you are here! I am off to check out your blogs!!!
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest and congrats on getting your magic back! 😉 I’m off to snoop around your blog now. Have a great day!
So glad you are getting the kinks worked out! Although I’m a new blogger, I’m already trying to figure out how to do the big switch! Any suggestions??
Thanks for stopping byddna!
Please follow!
I’m following you with GF, Happy Saturday Sharefest!
Thanks for the great response ladies! I look forward to checking out and following your blogs!
I was so happy to see that little Theta Mom button in my followers box!!!
Now I need some CommentLuv magic. For some reason when I post on people’s sites it no longer show my last post like it used to. Technology drives me nuts!!!
Google certainly has its quirks. (Sometimes I see a follower’s list and sometimes I don’t, but I noticed this more when I connect to my blog through MSN and not Firefox.) I still don’t see your blog updates in my follower’s list but I cured this by getting an e-mail when you make a new post. (I have also noticed that I don’t get updates from a few other blogs I used to follow and they are all Word Press.)
I am now having problems with Twitter. I joined just so that my blog posts could get more traffic (set it up with RSS feed so that every time I post it appears on my Twitter site.) Well, even though Twitter says my feed is active, my posts are not showing. Twitter was just an afterthought anyway so if it keeps doing this, I’m just going to discontinue it. (Less technological headaches mean a happier me…)
Glad to be back…
