All TSP Blog Followers From Blogger - What to Do When Follower Gadgets Dont Work on Your Blog

From Denny: Since I just found out this week that Blogger does not back up any of the sidebar or other boxed links and the like, only backing up blog posts, I've decided to make posts out of everything carried as links. But hey! I've also finally figured out after a first year blogger that by doing it this way, now it will condense down the number of links necessary in the sidebar. All I will require is one link to a post containing many links! Yay! In so doing the additional benefit is the page should load better so that's a happy day for you my lovely readers! :)

Can I also tell you that I've given up on the Followers Gadget from Blogger and Google Connect which don't work on any of my blogs for no reason? So, as usual, not one to be too patient and wait forever (6 months is long enough) I came up with this bright idea.

If you wish to be one on this Big Cat Someone "A" list of special people just decide to follow on Blogger - even if you are not a Blogger platform blogger. I'm linking to this blog's followers to their original bio page. So, whatever link you place there is where people are directed. Hopefully, you do have a blog. :)

Blogger Followers and Google Connect Gadgets Erasing People

From Denny: I've contacted Blogger several times and no response for the past two almost three months this has been going on. Apparently, there are hundreds of bloggers on blogspot with the same issue and yet there are others who have no problems.

Thinking it might be the placement of ads on the sidebar, I moved them to other places on the blog. When that didn't work, I just removed many ads. That didn't work either. Tried other bright ideas and none of them worked.

In total frustration, just removed the offending gadgets that are not working right. Can I tell you that I'm not happy with Blogger and Google right now over what should be a simple fix? :) It's rude to allow the erasing of other people like they don't exist. People want that connection to you as a blogger and the free marketing feature of their sites connected too.

What's the temporary solution until these disappearing faces on the gadgets get resolved? The next best solution is that even if you are not a blogger you can have your face and site featured on my other gadgets that do seem to have their act together: MyBlogLog, BlogCatalog and FuelMyBlog. I'll try and get more featured gadgets by joining some more blog directories. Then there's Twitter Counter too for advancing your Twitter followers' count and marketing your site.

Thanks for your support, everyone, and sorry for this inconvenience.
