Blogger has updated its followers gadget to include the Google FriendConnect feature too, so that everybody with a gmail, yahoo or aim open id can now follow the blogs.
It’s just very simple, earlier you could follow only if you had a blog for yourself. But now, you can follow with just an open ID that almost all of us are having (or that can be created easily)
And also, now we can invite friends to read a blog, which was earlier difficult (I used to email all my contacts about my blogger post, and once, I even mailed Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, unknowingly to his email apj@abdulkalam.com because he was in my contacts list.
The best thing about this change is that, now you can extend your friendfeed account to your blogspot blog, which was earlier almost impossible for beginners due to the necessity of uploading two files to the website.

Subscribe to my Substack Newsletter
As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
