Followers (Non-Blgger sites)

I'm sure by now most of you have seen the news that the follower button is disappearing.

I THINK, If I am reading this correctly that it is only to affect NON Blogging sites.

Correct me if I'm wrong!

Read this

http://just-ask-kim.com/google-ends-friend-connect-for-non-blogger-sites/

Thanks Doreen for pointing this out!
I have added the new button too ~ just in case I'm wrong !
I don't like the fact that you are automatically followed by what looks like advertising companies and it also mixes the followers up, randomly so you can't tell, at a glance, who's new!
