Goodbye Google Friend Connect

A long day maintaining my web site

Goodbye Google Friend Connect (GFC)

..on my main web site.

Google announced a while back that they were removing support for GFC on non-blogger websites at the end of this month. What a pain - I used it for comments, ratings and reviews of my photos and other bits and pieces.

So I spent today removing it all from my www.highton-ridley.co.uk website :(

At the same time, I took the opportunity to update my galleries with my most recent work as well, so I did do something positive to counterbalance it a little :)

I haven't quite finished, I still have to remove it from my Zazzlit tutorial and Zazzle promo pages. Tomorrow, though, as I am totally discombobulated right now...

These are the types of 'jobs' that I wish I had an assistant who would take care of them. Ugh!

Thanks for the empathy, Reena. I don't have an assistant either - I have two hats, one with "boss" and one with "assistant" written on them. For jobs like this, I put on my boss hat and tell my assistant to get on with it. Then I put on the assistant hat, hehe!

Too much website maintenance makes you crazy!

Could have been worse; at least you knew what you were doing ! Heck my blog has had an invalid e-mail for years because it won't let me change it to my gmail (well at least the last time I tried it wouldn't)

Hi Valerie - it was a struggle!

Did you try adding that blog email addy to your google+ account?
