Cheri (It’s So Very Cheri) and I both pestered kindly suggested to Brent (the creative genius behind Linky Tools and the new Linky Followers) that we were a teensy bit panicked over the Google Friend Connect abandonment and something fun to take it’s place was needed. We rounded up some friends to join a test group and helped to work on the best new follow tool which we announced yesterday.
Hellooooo DIY friends! I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Google Friend Connect is going away for WordPress blogs and know that I recently made the switch from Blogger to WordPress to clean things up around here. Change is scary to begin with and having change affect my readers breaks my heart. Thankfully there are other options in order to stay up-to-date!
ANNOUNCING THE NEWEST WAY TO FOLLOW:
Bloggers know a good “follower” tool is really needed. We wish for a simple, fast, easy-to-use and reliable service. Those of us who use Linky Tools and know the owner/creator (Brent Riggs), realized he would be perfect for developing some kind of really easy to use “follower” system. So we contacted him, and he loved the idea.
