I'm thinking of removing the Google Connect widget, and just plod along without it.
Why do they have to keep fixing things ??
Sheesh.

Google plus is another thing they pushed but I hate it. Blogging is not as simple as more apps come along to share the space:(
I have always been a google user. At times that has caused security scares in the past.
We'll see what comes along. Already Apple has made it impossible for me to share photos easily after their latest update, El Capitain.
I find sad that it has happened. My photo blog is in limbo.
I've been reading about this. I find it really annoying that they have to keep doing stuff like that. My comments took a hit when certain ones stopped coming to my email so now I wonder if this is going to hurt it even more. What's next? Are they going to start charging to blog?
Your alert which I knew about has prompted me to look at my followers on the widget Google Friends as I knew some weren't commenting. Many have stopped blogging I realise. I suppose I shall carry on as normal and see what happens.
Thanks for the PSA Sandra!!
Thanks MS
For once we are okey dokey. I did get a crazy call from
'off shore' last night telling me they were calling from Windows Tech...blah blah I'm pretty sure they are trying to get me to load Windows 10. I could barely understand him.

I saw a dramatic drop on my old blog just before I changed to the new one.
I have not noticed anything happening in that box today, but I did notice a drop some time around Christmas, because I was up to a 100 for a while, but then the number dropped again. It does not bother me much what the statistics say, it never matches the number of people actively following anyway. I just hope the blogs I want to follow stay on my reading list!
Well ,that explains the unexplained loss of followers!
I will have to check this out. I hate change! Thank you for letting us know.
Google is playing mean games with us!
