NOTICE

As you’ve probably heard, the popular Google Friend Connect (“GFC”) is going away March 1st for non-Google blog platforms like WordPress, and the scuttlebutt is that it will be eventually phased out completely to be replaced by Google+. GFC was never really so much an “I follow this blog” tool as it was an attempt at the whole Facebook “friend, like” concept.

Bloggers need a good “follower” tool and one that is not tied to a million other services (seems like Facebook, Twitter and Google are linked to everything else on the Internet). It needs to be simple, fast, easy-to-use and reliable.

Introducing LINKY FOLLOWERS (www.linkyfollowers.com)

The inevitable question: can your GFC followers be automatically moved over? NO. Google won’t allow access to those accounts (the part you need like email addresses) but more importantly, YOU really shouldn’t sign up someone to a new service. They should voluntarily sign up themselves. You’ll need to ask your GFC folks (and all your blog readers) to follow you using Linky Followers - its easy, quick and did I mention, FREE? They’ll love the tool. It’s a cool way to organize and follow the blogs you love.

You can get started by clicking LINKY FOLLOWERS over on the left side of this blog where the Linky Followers widget is displayed, or by visiting: www.linkyfollowers.com

Halloo! I love those beautiful reds in your garden! But what is a honeysuckle berry? It looks delightful!

I love your red berries and flowers. I bet some of them would look great in a bowl or vase in your kitchen!

Your garden reds are gorgeous! I was going to include RED in the garden, but didn't have any recent pictures that have RED. So this post I have today will do. :-)

I see you like red outside as much as inside! I love that penstemon! It looks foxglove-ish. I'm very impressed that you know all of the names of your flowers! I used to. Even some of the Latin names. Now there's just too many, and my brain has turned to mush!

I'm new here, but from what I can see, I'm going to really enjoy my visits.

I don't have much red, but am a great lover of whimsy and your blog takes the prize on whimsy!
