So There's Good News & Bad News....

Don't worry dear friends.

Nothing completely crazy.

But just in case you haven't heard I wanted to give you the heads-up.

Did you know that  Google Friend Connect will be going away as of February 29th for all

non-blogger blogs?

Craziness, people.

And, no I'm not a non-blogger blog so as of right now, you'll still be able to follow me via GFC.

But there is rumor that it will be phasing out for everyone soon too.

So that brings me to my main point...

I don't want to lose any of you!!!

So that's the bad news part.

Here's the good news.

Our friends over at Linky Tools came up with Linky Followers:

It's a great new way to follow blogs with a lot of fun features that GFC didn't have.

It also allows you to sort your blogs which is fun :)

So, in order to keep following your fave blogs, you just need to sign up on their site and start following your blogs that have the Linky Followers Tool on their sites (which a lot of them already have!!)

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about...

This is Google Friend Connect on my sidebar... what most people use to follow blogs at the moment:

I WILL be keeping GFC up for now.

So don't worry...if you like following that way, it's still an option!

But I've also added the new Linky Followers tools below it.

It looks like this:

So I would LOVE if you'd follow me via the new Linky tools.

That way I don't lose any of my fabulous friends :)

It's super easy to do and completely free.

In honor of the new Linky Tools...Cheri from It's So Very Cheri is hosting a Linky Followers Blog Hop!!

Here are the rules:

1. you MUST have the LINKY FOLLOWERS tool on your site to participate.

If you see that your link has been deleted you need to add the LINKY FOLLOWER tool to your site and then come back over and re-enter your link
{You can have both the LINKY FOLLOWERS & GFC on your site but you must have the LINKY FOLLOWERS toolto participate in this party hop.}

2. You MUST follow the person who has the party on their site as a thank you.

3. Just add your blog button to the LINKY PARTY below.

4.Then grab the BLOG HOP code

(Click on GET THE CODE HERE and enter it into a post on your site. You can grab info from my post if it helps you with your post.)

5. Then you follow other bloggers–(as many as you want)

That's it guys :)

And it will help spread the word about GFC and Linky Followers- so it's a win-win for everyone!!

Happy Hopping!!
