Much to my sadness, Google Friend Connect and Google Reader are being shut down at the beginning of July. For those that are unfamiliar with these Google services, they were great tools to easily follow blogs that you loved and see all of their posts in one continuous feed. As sad as I am to see them go, it'll be great to test out some new services and challenge myself to promote my blog in different ways!
There are two ways you'll be able to follow this blog in the post-GFC era:
1. Bloglovin' - This is essentially the same thing as Google Reader. You can create an account and click on the "Follow this blog with bloglovin'" button, and all of my new posts will be automatically updated to your feed. Most blogs (that I read, anyway) will be connected on Bloglovin' and will have a Bloglovin' follow button attached to them. You can also import all of the blogs that you already follow on Google Reader to you Bloglovin' feed by clicking here!
2. Facebook - And if you don't feel like creating yet another new account on yet another website, I just launched a Facebook page for FEN (right here!), and will be linking all of my new posts to it. Click "Like", and all of my new posts will end up on your news feed!
Hope this was helpful! xx
EDIT (June 18, 2013): It's been pointed out to me by a couple commenters that GFC will not be shut down come July 1st, only Google Reader. I have added the GFC widget back to my sidebar, so if you're a Blogger user, you can follow my posts on your Blogger feed by clicking the "Join this site" button on the right! :)
