Problem with NetworkedBlogs! (2nd post for today)
Does anyone else out there use the NetworkedBlogs app/widget for their blog/blogs? I have been using this thing for many years (with my Facebook account) and I noticed that the last two days I went from 147 followers to 140 and they just keep on dropping!
Now, I understand that followers come and go, but this is ridiculous. Since I am far from a "tekkie" and much of today's technology escapes me, I am both upset and confused regarding this. So, I did a bit of research on google and found the following links:

http://bloggingforfoodies.com/is-networkedblogs-taking-your-page-views-and-your-link-juice/
I am not even sure that the followers listed are even actually still SEEING my blog posts! I do not deal with Twitter and the like, so perhaps this is the problem? After reading the above links, I get the feeling that NetworkedBlogs is currently obsolete and useless. I have decided that if I continue to lose followers on it, I will just delete the thing altogether!
UPDATE TO THIS POST:
After conferring with my co-author Dark Elf (who is actually a "tekkie") and who has looked further into this matter regarding the NetworkedBlogs app/widget, he suggested we delete it from our blog page and create a new page via Facebook (since apparently Facebook is what screwed the entire thing up in the first place when they changed (as is far too usual a practice with them!) their format. Not too crazy about the idea and not too crazy about Facebook overall, but I kept my account in order to keep in touch with my relatives out of State and my former classmates as well.
And so, we shall see how it goes ...

I don't participate in networked blogs (I don't think), but I do remember last year there was some kind of glitch on Blogger that people were all losing followers. I lost over a hundred. I was so disgusted that shortly after that I took a Blogger holiday.
ReplyDeleteI totally "get it" about how frustrating Blogger can be. Their "tech support" is pretty much just other bloggers helping one another.
DeleteThanks for the feedback, Mary! I appreciate it!
I don't use Networked Blogs so can't help, but I haven't heard problems from friends who do use it. Maybe the problem isn't Networked Blogs per se. Maybe, Blogger is a culprit, too. I have wonky things happen to my blog the past couple of months.
ReplyDeleteYou could be right about blogger glitches and such. I had thought about that as well. Thanks for your feedback, CJ! ;)
DeleteI'm glad everything has been sorted out!
