[GUIDE] How To Link Your Blog To Your 'Google Friend Connect' Icon

As I look through all my wonderful followers on the Google Friend Connect bit of my blog, I notice that many of them do not have links to their blog when I click on their little icons. This is unfortunate, because if they haven't left a comment, there is simply no way I can visit them. Upon further inspection, even though I had taken measures to show my blog on my GFC profile, I was doing it all wrong and my blog still wasn't showing up. It took a while, but I figured out a way that worked for me, and will almost definitely work for you too.

You can do this right here from my blog, so why not set up your account to link to your blog right now? :)

Step 1 Go to the Followers section on the right hand side of the blog (or wherever it is situated). Click on Sign in.

(If under the icons your screen says Invite your friends, you can skip straight to Step 6.

Step 2 Click on the Google logo.

Step 3 Sign in.

Step 4 If you haven't already, this is a chance to follow my blog! Click the 'Follow this blog' button. If you already have, you may skip to Step 6. Alternatively, if you just don't want to (you can decide to later though if you want!) click on More options and skip to Step 8.

Step 5 Click Done.

Step 6 Now the screen you were just on will disappear, which means you have successfully signed in and followed my blog. Hurrah! Click on any picture you want - I chose my own for the screenshots, but it really doesn't make a difference.

Step 7 Now you'll want to click the Settings link at the top-right of this screen.

Step 8 Your screen may now look something like this. Click Change next to where it says 'Currently using your Blogger profile'.

If instead of Edit Blogger profile you have a list of three links (Edit basic information, Add a photo, Add links), skip to step 10.

Step 9 On the screen that pops up, click on the (Unlink) link.

Step 10  You should have three links next to your picture (if you have one) along with your profile name. Click on Add links.

Step 11 Your blog should be under the 'Add a suggested link' section! Tick the box! If it isn't listed, type the URL of your blog into the 'URL' box and whatever you want (preferably the blog name) into the 'Link name' box. Click 'Add'!

Step 12 Everything should now be done! Next time you click on your icon you should have your blog link in all its glory for all to see and click on!

Until next time!
