Loss of Followers

Image
Over the past few months I have noticed a significance loss of my blog followers.  Just recently I found out why. At the end of the year I closed out at 1655 followers on my blog, now at 1480 or maybe even less in the next few days . I was really shocked when I saw all these changes that I was curious if others were having this issue. Update: Followers now at 1468. 1453, ( 1433 Final Number) Explained in this blog post from blogger:  https://t.co/CagZQlPEou " In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow b...

Why did you start blogging ?  Obviously I love to read, so that's the main thing that started it. I really just wanted a place where I could share all my thoughts and talk to other book addicts like me, so this seemed like a good option! Favorite part of being a blogger? Definitely the sense of community! I haven't been at this for a very long time but it's so nice to have a bunch of people with similar interests who are genuinely nice people. As far as I've seen in the time that I've been blogging, everyone is incredibly supportive.  Do you prefer paperback or digital?  I love hard copies. I've never been able to focus with ereaders or audiobooks, to be honest.  Most anticipated book?   I recently found out that Morgan Matson has a new book coming out in 2016 and almost screamed with excitement. I'd read her grocery lists, I swear.  One book you would recommend and why?  The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry . It's one...

As many have seen there has been some changes that has happened on my blog. The reason I am writing this post is to tell all my followers the change of my URL. A few days ago I was thinking maybe I should change my URL to be stuckinyabooks, but I changed my mind immediately after I changed it. Apparently, after I thought it was changed it was missing the "s" at the end and was taken by another person. If you look closely...... I then noticed the change in my stats which was very low and publishers wondering what is going on with my URL. Then I had to change all my review archives, twitter, goodreads and many other sites to make sure my followers were able to still access them to the new URL. I still hope that you are still interested in reading my blog and hopefully understand the changes that were made. If you have any question please leave it in the comments! Thanks!!
