Follow Feature on Blogger
I just found this posted on the help site...
We are in the process of integrating with Google Friend Connect, which may temporarily affect the Following feature for some users. Specifically, users who already use Following and Friend Connect may notice missing blogs in their profile, as well as a decrease in the number of public Followers on their blogs.
This is because we have set these users to "anonymous" to avoid linking the profiles of Blogger and Friend Connect users without their permission. They are still following privately and will able to make themselves public again.
After the official launch of the Friend Connect integration, we will communicate with the affected users and instruct them how to reset their relationship to public. To reiterate: the number of Followers has not changed, and we believe that the launch will improve the visibility of your blog and community. We will post more details on Blogger Buzz as the launch approaches.

Stranded With...
“Your ship has sunk. You have, of course, been stranded on a deserted island. You have salvaged a copy of the King James Version of the Bible and a copy of the complete works of Shakespeare. Nothing else.
“The very next day you find one of those Arabian Lamps in the sand. Of course, you rub it and, of course, a rather grumpy Genie appears.
“‘Let’s get this straight - there is a recession going on. There are restrictions on the three wishes now. I don’t do water or air transport now so no boats, planes or magic carpets. As for electronics, forget it. There isn’t the infrastructure on this island.
“‘I can let you have one book and I mean one VOLUME, one essential item and one luxury item. Now hurry up and make your choices, I have to get to those five other islands you are going to nominate.’”
Ok, my book would be....
Because good manners are always in style, no matter where you are.
My essential item would be...
Because Donettes make me happy.
And my luxury item would be...
The Love Sac, because if I have a good book and donettes I want to make sure I have a comfortable place to sit.
An eight foot bean bag chair should do it!
Now, I tag the following...

It was a Dark and Stormy Night...
Remember the Wal-Mart baby movie?
The one where the girl is pregnant and she and her jerk off boyfriend get in a fight and she doesn't have anywhere to go so she lives in the Wal-Mart and then she has the baby and names it Americus and gets on t.v and wins stuff blah blah blah...
Remember that movie?
A story written about that girl's life and we all know it.
We either bought the book or saw the movie
We laughed, we cried, whatever.
Now, I read quite a few blogs and I'm just wondering why some of these peoples stories aren't books and movies.
Is it because of blogging?
Is it because blogging is more anonymous?
I have thought for years about writing a book, but I'm to afraid that as soon as I sum evrything up in a book something REALLY big will happen, like Wendy would get hit by a bus driven by someone in the Witness Protection Program, someone big like Hoffa, and the government would pay me millions in hush money and I'd live out the rest of my life on my own private Island surrounded by little people in grass skirts catering to my every whim and partying with the likes of Elton John and Martha Stewart.
Missing Wendy terribly of course.
Thats why I haven't written a book yet.
So why doesn't anyone else around here write a book?
Amy wrote a cookbook and had it published.
Ron has written two books and had them published.
Ron and Amy, if you don't want to get up in front of everybody and talk about it that's fine, but how was it writing those books?
Has anyone else written a book?
How do you do it?
Do you have agents?
Publishers?
Whats the scoop?
