Prior to joining a group in Google+, I was
hesitant to incorporate my Blogger account to Google+. Even though this blog is old as evidenced by
the date when the first article was posted which was on July 11, 2012, still,
it may be considered in the process of commencing since there are only a few
articles published. It is my desire that
this blog will continue on not only for ten years but for several years more so
that I need to find ways to make this blog interesting.
For now, as much as it kills me to make this
admission, this blog is boring. This is
one of the reasons why I kept bookmarking websites that may be of help for the
improvement of this blog.
Unintentionally, I decided to open a Google+
account. Expecting nothing from it, I
joined a group called Bloggers of Google Plus.
Surprisingly, I was accepted and its members started to add me to their
circles or follow me. So far, this is
the only group that I joined. I have yet
no intention of joining any other group for it takes time to be up to date on
what is happening around my circle.
Today, I finished checking my inbox for Google+
updates. Upon opening some blogs and
bookmarking them, I noticed that some blogs of the group where I belong has this
Google+ Followers gadget. I became excited
and thought of placing the same on my blog to add something new to it. Somehow, this group has provided me new
perceptions in blogging to the effect that I need not fear incorporating my Blogger
account to Google+ account.
If
you have a blog in Blogger, it is easy to add Google+ Followers gadget. Below are the steps:
1. Sign
in to your Blogger account. – Of course, it cannot be done without signing in,
lol.
2. If
you have multiple blogs, click on the blog you wish to change, edit or add
something.
3. Look
for the “Layout” category on the left side and click on it. – Here, you can see
how your blog was arranged. You can
move, add or edit gadgets here depending on what you want your blog to look
like.
3. Click
“Add a Gadget.” – This is where you will see “Google+ Followers,” among other
things.
I am not good in making instructions, so, if you have any questions or clarifications, you can email me. And here is a picture of what I did to my blog.
Having a Google+ account changes the way you do
blogging. Through Google+, I became a
member of the group called Bloggers of Google Plus which has many members who
are experts in blogging. Through reading
their websites, you get to learn more about blogging and there is the feeling
of eagerness to make good your personal blog; not only that, it also adds traffic
to your blog or website which every blogger or writer or author aims to
achieve. A blog or a website is nothing without blog traffic.
