The Following feature on Blogger kind of tripped and fell on its face over the past few days. Many readers and bloggers alike have noticed that the Following feature is a little dizzy and stunned. Most bloggers lost at least 50 followers overnight and I had a friend email me to ask why I suddenly stopped following her blog!
Apparently what happened is Blogger changed some users from Public followers to anonymous. The good news is that this can be changed and it only takes a minute. The bad news is that if you don’t fix it, you as a reader may miss out on winning a contest if you say you are following a blog but we can’t find you because you’re Anonymous!
Ok, so the solution? Very easy!
When you are in your Blogger account, go to Dashboard. Then, in Dashboard click on the tab “Blogs I’m Following” under Reading List. At the bottom of that list, click Manage.
You will then see a window full of a bunch of Blogs that you are now listed as an Anonymous Follower on. Just click on the toggle to change your status from Anonymous to Public Follower and you’re good to go!
