In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all
non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an
easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time,
we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google
Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be
making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a
Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs.
As part of this plan, starting the week of January 11, we’ll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs. At the same time, we’ll remove non-Google Account profiles so you may see a decrease in your blog follower count.
We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they’ll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow.

Good Fences
This is my first post linking up to Good Fences.
Nothing is more pleasing to the eye than a fence with a pretty design in the gate.
One of my friend's garden gates in the mid-summer growing season.
One of my painting interpretations of a good fence.
