I am beginning to figure out that Google+ takes up the slack that is left behind by Blogger. I wanted a place for my photos to live, and found out that they will download automatically into Google+ photos, and I can make my albums all private. This is perfect for me, so I have access to my photos from anywhere. Blogger doesn't really have a photo app like that.
I also found that I can see everyone's blog on my phone, through Google+. The Blogger app just shows my posts, and allows me to write a new blog. I don't care about mine, as much as not wanting to miss my friends' posts. If you haven't linked your Blogger account to Google+, you really should think about doing it. There are some good options available there that we don't get here. I think they were made to work together, actually!
Speaking of friends, I am finding some new friends here on Blogger. That's kind of nice, so far anyway! Friends of friends are moving over and finding me - or I am finding them. Expanding the community! It's a good thing!!
Thank goodness it's Friday!! We don't have weekend plans, but we did have Tristan last weekend, so no cleaning got done. The house needs some attention. Other than that, come what may!! Wishing everyone here a good weekend!! Peace, love & hugs!!
Hi Terri it is me Cheryl. I opened a page but I don't have anything on it yet. I'm just trying to learn how to do everything.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you here, Cheryl! Thanks for leaving a comment, and I look forward to your blogs here!! Hooray & hugs!
DeleteTerri, do you now like Blogger? Every single day I find something new and easy to do. I posted a video on my blog today and it was quick as wink. I do hope Cheryl will find that she likes it too. Dont work too hard with cleaning, do like me....2-3 hours and the rest can wait! lol Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI have committed to Blogger, Linda, and now that I am finding extra things on Google+, it is beginning to work for me. Our house is so small that it only takes about 3 hours to clean, even when I move furniture and scrub the kitchen good. It's just getting to it that hurts! LOL
DeleteNot easy for me lol but someday I will have time to sit down and mess with it more. Yuck did someone say clean lol...actually I do like to clean sometimes. I just have to give myself a push to get started
DeleteI have to figure out how to do the Google+. I also haven't figured out how to do tabs at the top of the blog page yet.
ReplyDeleteThe tabs are called "pages" and you can add "pages" by clicking on the "design" link, for Blogger. It's really easy to do!
DeleteGoogle+ has some nice features. When you download your photos to Google+ how do you show them on your blog? Do you have a tab or do you send a link to your Google+ photo album?
ReplyDeleteKris, I haven't tried it yet. I "assumed" that I would just copy it from Google+ to my blog. Time will tell!!
DeleteHappy Friday Terri...Will start my daily blog soon.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've linked my account to Google +. I don't think it ever occurred to me. I've had Blogger blogs for several years. You'd think I'd be familiar with this stuff by now ...
ReplyDeleteBtw, new Christmas blog up!
I'm back. I quickly looked it over and realized that Google+ won't work for me. I want to be Brenda Christmas on that blog, but if I do the easy Google+ thing, I have to use my real name and my profile info from the Circle, and I don't want to do that. Oh well. At least it IS easy and was easy to learn about.
ReplyDeleteI've been on google + for quite some time. Now I have another friend in my circle and can see you on multiple sites. I can follow people on here with my google + ID, but, like Brenda Christmas, maybe the link won't work for me because I'm brendainmad on blogger. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have a different name on Blogger, too, and my real name on Google+. I think perhaps the e-mail address is what links them. Give it a try!
DeleteI use gmail for both I think. Well, I really haven't had time to do much research into the matter anyway.
ReplyDeleteI will have to look into doing Google+. Of course, it depends on where everyone from Multiply ends up!
ReplyDeletebtw - this is Jennifer - it shows me following as matthewswifey, but when I comment it shows as Collier Creations....have to figure that one out...
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon/evening. Haven't been to blogger for a couple days, spending most of my extra time at blogster. Your Sat post came back as no longer available??? Hope all is well with you, I'm enjoying the showers today.
ReplyDeleteThis is so confusing....
ReplyDeleteAre you posting to Blogspot, or Blogger, or Google+?
Hoping I don't have to move....
