Blog Catalog & Google Friend Connect

Ok well first off I joined BlogCatalog to maybe get some readers who comment, and also to get back into the world of commenting myself. I follow sort of the big tech news blogs, news sites, etc, but not personal blogs, not in a long time. I thought it was time I did get back to regular people, and maybe find some blogs I enjoy reading. If you a Blog Catalog member leave me a comment, I’ll come visit you! If your non a Blog Catalog member leave a comment anyways lol!

Well after joining the above I decided to add the Google Friend Connect widget to my site… just one issue… it was not working. I tried about 2 different wordpress plugins and the code from Google’s Friend Connect page as well, no luck with either 3. I then decided too google for the answer, and came across this page, that says to add this to a version of something not sure if its a theme or something else… well I copied the code and decided to toss it in my TEXT box widget that holds my GFC Widget code from Google and it worked. So if you’re having issues where its not loading, try adding this code above your widget code.

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
window.JSON = {
parse: function(st){
return st.evalJSON();
},
stringify: function(obj){
return Object.toJSON(obj);
}
};
// ]]></script>

After that hopefully your widget works for you!

    Hi! I’m the admin over at Real Bloggers United at BC & saw (this morning–I try to stay away from the old laptop on the weekend–sorry for the delay) that you’d signed up to join the group. And one of the things I do to ensure that you’re a real blogger & not a spammer is visit the site…which I obviously have done (otherwise, I’d not be sending this note…ah, the logic in the universe is overwhelming, isn’t it?!)

    I do enjoy your blogsite. I also joined it via the Google friend connect that’s on your sidebar. I didn’t need to use the HTML code you embedded in your post.

    Any whooooo, just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your blog and that I hope you’ll find your way over to the RBU home site at BC as well as to the RBU Group Blog page at http://realbloggersunited.blogspot.com/

    Here’s wishing you a great day.
