Ever since we have moved to a new, WordPress (self hosted) platform, I have been looking for a way to add Google Blogspot Friend Connect to our WordPress blog.  I am elated to say that finally found a way to do this and it is quiet easy.  Google helps you generate a snippet of code that you can insert into any blog, web site, or any social media page which allows you to add html text box (including Facebook!  Will talk more about it in the next post ;  )  )

Without further ado here is how to do it:

Log into Google Friend Connect:  http://www.google.com/friendconnect/ by clicking on Get Started button:

…or, sign in if you already have an account with Google.

Step 1:  Fill in site information to add your site/blog as illustrated below:

Step 2:  Create  you Google Friend Connect Gadget:

…and generate code:

Step 3:  Log into to your blog Layout/Appearance console and add this snippet of code as an HTML text widget.

Now, I welcome you to join the community  :  )

Plus!  Once you register with Google Friend Connect, there will be a number of other fun and interactive gadgets available for you to play with.  Just look over to your left hand side and click gadgets!

I will talk more about how to add this particular gadget to Facebook in the next post.  Until then…

Cheers!
