Where are we today ?
Rock Glen Resort Arkona Ontario
Well I tried out the Google + comments on our Blog and loved the interaction that it allows, but have found that my comments have dropped drastically as a lot of the people that did comment do not have Google + accounts.
So I have switched back to the regular comment system so that anyone can now comment.
Hope this helps those who do not want to have a Google account and wish to comment.
What are your thoughts?

I wondered about that. I certainly can't understand why someone would use it if their comments are limited.
ReplyDeleteWell I tried it and like the concept but not like the fact that commenters are forced to get a Google + account.
DeleteIt does not matter to me at all. It was fun having the quick interaction but I was getting tired of my mail box filling up with replies. I like to go back later in the day or even the next day and read your replies. Perhaps give it a try in a few months when more people catch up to Google+. I need to have a tech come in to set it up for me and right now that will have to wait until April. I don't have time before we leave.
ReplyDeleteThats what I was thinking too, maybe later sometime, but the interaction was nice thou.
DeleteI prefer letting anyone make comments,so I guess I won't make any changes.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I went back to blogger comments.
DeleteMeh, whatever works for you. I only noticed that my comment did show up right away, so for those who need "instant gratification", then I guess that's a good thing. However, if less people are able to comment, the go back to the old system. I still have the "old system", or at least it looks that way.
ReplyDeleteI have changed teh settings as well so that the comments show up right away as well.
DeleteWell, I never got around to making the change. Guess I'll just hang in there for awhile. Since I have a Google + account I have no trouble commenting on anybody's blog.
ReplyDeleteSame here I have the Google +, but not everybody does.
DeleteI am changing back also. Not happy with the profile either.
ReplyDeleteAll these changes Google keeps making makes my head spin. Thank goodness for Rick being able to explain/warn us about them! :c)
ReplyDeleteYes you are right, Rick does is a wealth of information.
DeleteI don't have Google+ either, so appreciate being able to comment once in a while. Thanks George.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill, it os nice to here from lotsa people out there.
DeleteWhatever works best for you is o.k. with me George. I think it will become a moot point soon anyway as I do believe that being a member of G+ will eventually be mandatory on Blogger. Might not be for a while though so folks may as well enjoy it while they can.
ReplyDeleteRick I do like the way it works, but guess will be a wait until it happens.
DeleteI went through this a few weeks ago with Google + comments & stuff. Didn't take me long to get back to what I was most comfortable with. Newer is not always better.
ReplyDeleteYep Al you are right, still like the old way better.
Deletegeo
Howdy,
ReplyDeleteI'm tooooo oooold to change to something 'NEW'; I'm still trying to figure out the original GOOGLE !!!! Rick makes it sound so EASY and when I try to do what he sez, I'm lost after the first change, then it's H..L trying to get back to what I can make work !!!!!!! I'm with Al B & he's light-years ahead of me.....
Well we do what works and the older system sill works great. Hope you can get things figured out!
DeleteWill stay here as long as we can.
Rick says it's a moot point but if enough people start giving feedback to Google that they don't want to be on a social media they might be smart to leave it alone. Sorry to say I won't Google+ or Facebook so just leave well enough alone. Be Safe and Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
Well there will be a time eventually that you will have to give into Google + if you want to Blog, maybe just not yet.
DeleteI like going to just one place for blogging and comments. Google+ doesn't thrill me ... too public (although I changed my setting to just people I know) ... I wonder if that even works.
ReplyDeleteIt work really well if every body goes on the system
DeleteI'm going with the old system as long as I can, it's true newer is not always better, sometimes just more complicated.
ReplyDeleteYes it is complicated but can work well someday.
DeleteI tend to,agree with Rick. Bet before long it will be required, somimdecidedmto,let it happen now. Unrelated, however, I made your yams and apples and roast pork loin on the Weber Q. Thanks big time. It was a huge hit with our company!
ReplyDeleteSue glad you enjoyed that meal on your Weber, we love it.
DeleteRequiring Google+ for blogger may force me to pick a different blogging site.
ReplyDeleteThats why I took it off. But Blogger is still the best Blogging site in my opinion.
