BLOGGER QUESTION:
Now I have been reading on some gals blogs that come March there are big changes coming on blogger - that there might be no more blogger - that there will not be the Google Friend Share - has anyone heart that? Did I miss a notice of that somewhere?
See these two weeks Chatty's been thinkin' !
Barn Charms:
I have not joined barn charms - because in my area I really don't see many. I did see one recently I am going to go back and get a picture of. But being in the Monday Barn Charm Spirit I found something interesting about barns.
I hope you enjoy.
Now here is a good thought one - what do you think?

Thanks for passing on all you leanred!
ReplyDeleteNo more blogger? Say it isn't so!
I have never made a button, thanks for this, I will hate to stop blogging , I really do enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
I love that cute Rabbit and the old rugged cross is beautiful,
ReplyDeleteI hope the no more Blogger rumors are just that....rumors.
ReplyDeleteI'll check out the button links. I hope this blogger thing is just a bad rumor. What will we all do??
ReplyDeleteHey - thanks for putting my button up. My friend Jannie made it for me.
ReplyDeleteI hope those rumors are not true. I am finally getting used to the "new" blogger format.
These are most helpful- thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh, great. I hope Blogger doesn't disappear. I guess it's a wait and see thing. Loved the video.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard that there won't be any more Blogger, but I did hear google friend connect is going away.
ReplyDeleteYou need to join Google+ That is what they are going to instead of google friend connect.
This is my link on google plus and if you follow me, let me know and I will follow back.
Whoops, here is my link

Every time I see this piece on barns it brings tears... it is so perfectly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteRough couple of weeks ...
Have a beautiful week ~
TTFN ~
Hugs,

Well I too hope these rumors are not true. I wouldn't want to have to change over now......
ReplyDeleteSweet friend, thanks for putting my button on your blog....and I hope you have a wonderful day.....
Here is your answer to what Google is doing, I don't understand a word of it but here is the lnik ...

Huggers, Marydon
No more blogging? I don't like that at all!
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed when they changed everything a while back. I was using Blogger In Draft and really liked it and then "poof" Blogger in Draft changed and I didn't like it a bit. I got out of Blogger In Draft then, but I think they might make everyone use the new version at some point. I do like it for putting photos in a post because they go exactly where I want them to, but I like the old dashboard better. I go back and forth. They changed gmail recently too and I clicked that I'd try it and now can't get back to the old version. I hate forced change. Why do they change everything??? What surprises me is that Blogger is free. Perhaps they'll charge at some point? I would think they'd do that before they'd dump it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's friend connect going away as they are encouraging folks to go to Google+. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteif you blog on Blogger (blogspot, which you do), you'll be able to keep GFC (at least for now!) it's only the blogs that use GFC on other platforms (like typepad or wordpress) that will lose it on 3/1. so i've heard/read.
ReplyDeletebut i'm sure that means that sooner or later, they'll make everyone switch to G+
Soooo helpful! I always YELL loudly for my guy to come HELP Me with blog buttons!

I hope this rumor yoour hearing isn't true...but I do wonder how we have been given this gift for free...so I wouldn't be surprised if it comes to a end or they want to sell the space.
ReplyDeleteI am very naive about all this blogger stuff. I use the simplest of forms, change only my header and occasionally add a picture here and there.
ReplyDeleteI checked out the Internet to see if blogger is disappearing and as I understand it, that is not the case. It is GFC that is (may be) disappearing and I am not even sure that I have that. Different sites give other options to use, but figuring them out (after reading about 15 or so explanations), made me just want to turn the whole thing off.
I think I will go eat a brownie now. I need some comfort food.
Congrats on the button and i just wait for al rumors to go away!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
I'm going to check out the button instructions. I have heard anything about blogger going away - but will let you know if I do! And to answer your question - no. Not one calorie in a creme brulee! Ha-ha but once a week doesn't seem like a bad idea :) A girl's gotta be bad sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this info! I was just wondering recently about how to make a blog button. Was going to ask my graphic designer son if he could do one for me. Perhaps now I can just do my own! You are a sweetheart! :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for the instructions beacuse I had noticed that on my button you have here it takes you to my URL and not my blog, so I really need to fix that, try changing my button to the new one on my blog and I think that one will work good. :) I am going to check out the button tutorials.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Blogger going away I understand that it is not, just more changes.. it will be all our followers will no longer be in our sidebars. :( This can mean a lot of loss of followers after building it for our blogs. They want us to now start a Google+ page to encourage followers.. Sheesh...another page....this may be hard to find our friends now... :( We all depend on our followers to chat and also to have visible, so I wonder how we will connect after March????:( I do like the new format that they have now because I can copy and paste photos and it is much easier....but the new rumor I believe is just that...Debb
That rabbit is cute :) um blog button?! Guess I need to create one [hehe] I love the thought at the end - As is our confidence, so is our capacity -
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day my friend!
Bright blessings!
Eva
Well, I guess I need to get around to making a blog button then. ;-) No excuses now. Ha Ha!! <3
ReplyDeleteNice video and message. :)
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate the help to make a button. I know some people are switching ot wordpress. I'm still learning about blogger. :)
Well, I've heard a lot about the GFC thing (which caused me to join Google + - come find me if you get on!) but I haven't heard anything about Blogger. I hope not. I'm rather fond of it.
ReplyDeleteLots of great info! Thanks for all of the links! Blog buttons are great! ♥
ReplyDeleteWOW! I see that you've added my blog button to your sidebar! How sweet of you! Thanks! ♥
ReplyDeleteThe snowy picture is beautiful I was scared about the blogger thing but after reading the other comments glad it isn't disappearing.. but do we really need more changes.
ReplyDeleteEeeek! No, I haven't heard of any changes happening to Blogger in March. Just imagine if all us Bloggies weren't able to keep in touch with each other any longer! :( No, they couldn't possibly do that to us. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI will star this post and maybe try making one someday. Thanks for the links. I love barns, they are one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when they change things on us! I don't like the new gmail look at all. I did try it when they were offering you to look at it sooner and I didn't like it and I don't like it now!
ReplyDeleteWhen I get time I'll try to make a button.
Hugs,
Angela
Well I have the day off tomorrow so maybe instead of doing something constructive I could make a button :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the video.
I love the video clip. I am passing on this to my loved ones. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBless you! I have always wondered how. Now... as soon as I get time...
ReplyDeleteMaybe they want us to quit blogging and start writing letters so we can save the post offices??
Many many people have created google plus accounts. I've had one for a while, but I also have a Facebook fan page which I love. I'll keep using Blogger, it's not going anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI'm hiding under my desk. Even with instructions, I still haven't figured out how to get all those buttons at the bottom of a post.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie...Now that was a darling post. Loved your little snowman in the corner of the top scene. I didn't see him before. Was he always there?
ReplyDeleteLoved the old barn video. Sometimes I feel like an old barn, when my shingles creek and the cold wind blows through.
It was a nice image, really.
Take care and have a good Tuesday. Susan
Just back and catching up! Your header and background are beautiful!!! You got back sooner than me! I love your New Year's Wishes and Tails post!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie, I know there is a Google Plus --but don't think it will replace Blogger. It's more like Facebook...
ReplyDeleteGlad you got the blog button thing all worked out... Bloggers are great help.
Hugs,
Betsy
I still don't know what a blog button is. I do know that google blogs are going away but I didn't think it would affect the other blogs like blogspot or wordpress. Our den is decorated with barn wood. It is about the only thing the previous owners did that was nice decorating.
ReplyDeleteYikes!! I hope that isn't true about blogger. What would we do???? Thank you for all the information you so generously share with us. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteBarns are part of my special memories. I used to go with my grandpa to milk the cows before the sun came up. He would squirt warm milk in my mouth but often missing just for fun and catching me in the face. Thanks for the memory. Stella
ReplyDeleteFrightful thought...No more blogger....Oh dear I hope not....I enjoy so much blogging and the friends I have made in this tiny world that has became a daily joy to me.....thanks for the kudos on my blog site. Much Tuesday Hugs
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie,
ReplyDeleteI made mine about a month ago. I was so proud when it worked. :-)
Dee
Hi Sandie,
ReplyDeleteI have a blog and blog, other than that I am clueless about Google Friend Connect. I'm sure there are many things I could be using but don't. Before I started blogging here at blogger I was blogging over at MSN Windows Live Spaces. That was shut down and everybody was forced to either join up at WordPress which is now their default blogging platform... Or move elsewhere.
With regards to buttons, I checked out some of the tutorials about buttons but it's all double dutch to me.
Does PSP stand for Photoshop? I don't know how to use Photoshop either.
For me, I find the BEST program for making stuff is good ole Microsoft Word. You can't beat it!
Cheerio, have a good one!
Did some research on Blogger - it sounds to me that it's not going to change for Blogger-hosted blogs. I sure hope so. They already mess so much other stuff up. Have you been reading about some of the problems people are having out there?
ReplyDeleteWhere is a PERSON when you need them??? :( Grrr...
