Blogger never said that GFC was going to be eliminated for everyone! It was only going to be made unavailable to NON-Blogger platforms. The company always intended to keep GFC enabled for the Blogger platform. While the system is still enabled at this time for the non-Blogger platform, it's still scheduled to be eliminated for them. Too many people didn't fully understand what Blogger was doing, either through mis-communication or mis-understanding. Then they mistakenly spread the word that it was going away for everyone!<br /><br />While it isn't a necessity to have the new Linky Followers installed on our blogs, I think that it serves as another opportunity for non-Blogger readers to follow Blogger platform blogs, since they won't be able to use GFC. It certainly can't hurt to have multiple ways for people to sign on to follow us- and that would include RSS feeds and e-mail subscriptions. I offer all of these on my own blog. I don't have any vested interests in Linky Followers, but I do think it's nice for all blogging platforms to have an alternative. :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843513751203663201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-33930258230678416732012-03-02T17:52:13.395-08:002012-03-02T17:52:13.395-08:00The Linky follow option is for your followers who ...The Linky follow option is for your followers who don't blog through Blogspot.

I realized GFC was not going away - I never read that in their messages - they were just discontinuing their services to other blog platforms. I can see others trying to figure out how to stay connected - I am with you - I was looking at my sidebar - clutter! Trying to find out how to put all the social media icons into one cute gadget - had to go shopping today, to get out. Guess what! I went to Lowes today and their garden center was FULL of gorgeous colors! I could live outdoors the rest of the year I think!<br />Hugs,<br />KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310044533488593888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-11869257898233288552012-03-02T17:07:59.698-08:002012-03-02T17:07:59.698-08:00HEY there...i just went through the whole tutorial...HEY there...i just went through the whole tutorial about linky followers before i saw your posts..i am concerned myself because it is after march 1st and i still have mt gfc followers..i was considering the linky follower untill i read your posts...i hope you don't mind if i borrow your posts to share..thanks for all the info..~sabri~ p.s..it was so nice for someone to share the info and clear this up..sabrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272880956088364583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-54856701293864382602012-03-02T16:57:58.735-08:002012-03-02T16:57:58.735-08:00Hi Tracie,
