As part of my blog migration service (blog transfer from Blogger to WordPress), I carry over Google Friend Connect (GFC) followers from a client’s Blogger blog to his/her WordPress blog. How do I do it? It’s easy peasy:
- Login to your Google Friend Connect (GFC) account (use the same email you use when you log-in to your Blogger blog).
- You will have to accept the Friend Connect Developer Terms of Service if it’s your first time to log-in to your GFC account.
- Select the blog that you are transferring to WordPress from the list of your Blogger blogs on the left hand side of your screen.
- Change the URL at the address bar of your browser into the following: http://www.google.com/friendconnect/admin/site/settings?id=
- REMEMBER to leave YOUR 20-number GFC account ID intact at the end of the URL!
- At the landing page, change the Home URL to that of your WordPress blog.
- Save your settings!
You can now proceed to adding the GFC widget to your WordPress blog with no worries that your old followers will be left behind!
