When switching to WordPress I thought I could keep my followers and now I find out I'm wrong! Can't they do something, this is one advantage blogger definitely has. I see it as a big advantage too....I may just switch back.

That said, I sense you guys are working on providing Google Friend Connect to all of us (it's catching on out there and we want some of that action).

Just want to encourage you guys to work a little...faster.

Thanks.

You might get an actual answer such as, "do to the nature of the code, and how it works, we feel it is a security risk" or something like that. Then again you might get a more fuzzy answer such as "it is on our list of requested features and is something we will look at." Then you could post back here and tell everyone what they said.

I love WordPress's editing ability and templates, but some of the restrictions are seriously annoying. I hear everyone saying security issues are the reason, but Blogger does it and probably has as many users as WordPress.com if not more and they do it. Not saying that is a reason, but I don't see how one massive company can do it, and another cannot.
To move or not to move.....Blogger is getting better.....

Because of the non-Java issues and WordPress.com protection (see timethief's posts on this in the general forum and on her site) you don't get the Avatar pics / links on the sidebar.

But you do get a perfectly serviceable and functional Networked blogs text button that they set up for non-java blogs.

(It would be very easy to put the link onto a picture of your choice so you could have a cool graphic link to FB/NWblogs - might add that to my to-do list).

Mine's here:
http://marthawilliams.org/blog/
-- look to the left hand sidebar just under the main picture you'll see the little blue text button which links up to here: http://networkedblogs.com/blog/martha_williams_wet_rock_writing/.

You can add the button/link as a widget anywhere on your WP blog so it can be right up at the top if you want.

On Facebook, you can set up a blog application so your WP blog appears as a tab on your FB page. http://www.facebook.com/marthawilliamswriting?v=app_9953271133

As well as a manual link option, your WP blog can post directly to Facebook/Twitter in several ways -

-- WP direct: go to My Blogs in your global dashboard and click the facebook link by the blog you want to share. (And/or Twitter).

-- Networked blogs (requires Facebook acct) - click on 'Syndication' and follow the prompts.

The networked blog page and your FB profile then include all your followers / avatars etc with a full picture-perfect copy of your blog, without an avalanche of outgoing links from your main site.

>>Google Friend Connect / Blogger follows etc?

I'm still working on that.

I can still follow via Blogger by simply linking my WP footer avatar to my google profile. Haven't found a way of reversing this yet (although I did redirect my old Blogger blog to my new site using the Blogger dashboard, so old followers can still find me).

Hope that's useful.

On the one hand, I am enthusiastically getting into blogging and updating my blog each day, trying to build upon it, etc. On the other hand, I have run into daily frustrations with WORD PRESS.COM. I have a Blavatar that will not disappear, though I deleted it days ago.

Then today...I received some people who want to follow me through NetworkedBlogs but 1.) asked why WordPress doesn't provide the nifty NetworkedBlogs photo thumbnails like other blogging sites and 2.) why I don't have GFC on my WordPress blog. So....I immediately tried to figure out how to add GFC to my page and realize through this forum I can't! I have a number of friends who are not on Facebook or NetworkedBlogs and so won't be able to follow or show up in my followers stats.

I also would like my bookshelf on Shelfari.com to show up as a widget, but WordPress does not allow for the Java Script (as I understand it), so I have to include a boring link to my Shelfari.com page instead.

Now I am wondering if I should have started my blog with another blog site.
