Hey all you out there in Cyberspace!
It's Cordelia.
If you have a main account on Blogger, you may have gotten the notification about the huge change coming with all of the site functions. With Google Plus changing and taking a totally different direction, all functionality for Google Plus is leaving the Blogger platform except for the optional 'Share This' and '+1' buttons.
For many sites, this will not impact how things are done, and they will go undisturbed. However, because we had all kinds of additional ties to Google Plus with extra buttons and sharing options, we now have to go back and manually fix many of our old posts. The formatting of those posts has gotten a bit messed up as part of the transition. I have marked all of the affected posts as needing edits, and for the time being, they cannot be seen. As of now, there are quite a few of them from over the years, and I will be reposting them as I fix them, so if you get alerts from old posts being reposted, I am sorry for the confusion.
All comments and interactions that members of the site have had in the past will now be removed as well as those were made with Google Plus as well. I am sad to see that all of those will be going away, as so many of our great interactions have come from discussions and conversations in the comments section. I feel like I have gotten to know so many of you because of it. To replace the comments section that was hosted by Google Plus, Blogger will revert to all of their old comment sections.
However, any comments that were made before the initial first switch from Blogger comments to Google Plus comments will not be found either. Only new comments from the change moving forward will be seen. I can let you all know a bit more as I find out more, and I am so sorry that all of these changes are happening.
I just wanted to make sure I let all of you know so that you don't think that I went in and deleted our discussions. In the meantime, you can always find us on Twitter or on our Facebook page.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!
~Cordelia Cross.
