SUBSCRIBE VIA RSSOk, so after much trepidation I decided to add Google Connect to my sidebar.
The main reason I’ve been so hesitant to add it is because I knew it’d be completely barren. While a honeymoon period of having NO friends is to be expected, I’m paranoid that I’ll still have no friends even after the initial honeymoon period is over.
My goal is to see at least 300 buddies over there in two weeks. Actually, my real goal is to not see single digits. For if that happens, someone will be talking me down from a ledge.
Rally! Beg! Plead! Much like I’m doing. Let’s cater to a dingbat’s insecurity.
On a sidenote, what’s with the photo resizing that Google puts my image through? It looked so nice and crisp in the preview yet once displayed it looks as though Google stomped on my face with spiked shoes, twisted me into the dirt, and then affixed it to a dart board.
I’m challenged enough, Google, the least you can do is let my Photoshop mastery shine through.

You'll make it in no time flat if you have an incentive for joining your blog.
Like a shout-out to your 13th follower or something.
Your 13 th follower was moi..LOL.
You ROCK Greg! You will get there in no time flat. You are the only one I will listen to more than 5 minutes of mingling! You are so funny and interesting and NEVER at all boring. I swear you need to be a stand up comedian.
Thanks, Angel! =-.

Honestly, the ledge ain't that bad! But I don't think you'll have to go there. You have a great site.
I like Google connect on blogs. Have found some pretty cool sites there.
Done! Am I cool yet?

Not that any of you weren't cool before, but the second you clicked that button you raised your cool level like a bajillion points.
If you have friends who are in desperate need of being cool, you know where they can get a head start.
LOL, I am your friend Greg- you are not alone in this big bad interwebs

When I moved my blog over from Blogger to WordPress my Google followers didn't carry over and I had to beg them to come follow me again. Total bummer. I have to say, Netoworked Blogs allowed the switch and it worked like a charm, so go them! Happy to support- you have been followed.
