If you are a blogger, you are sure to have seen the little Google Friend Connect widget on blogs all over the world. I actually had it on one of my blogs, but not a Wordpress blog. With Blogger, you are able to insert all sorts of widgets and gadgets in just a click or two. The Google Friend Connect service allows anyone with a Google account the ability to join any website/blog that offers the service to enjoy the social media features.

The idea behind the Google Friend Connect service is to give internet users a universal account that will give them access to many different websites.

Since most of my blogs are Wordpress blogs, I set out to find how I could add the the Google Friend Connect to my Wordpress blogs. I found the answer and it was simple. I will share the 3 easy steps with you so that you can add it too!

1. Login to Google Friend Connect at http://www.google.com/friendconnect/home/
2. Click Set Up A New Site – Follow the instruction
3. Add the code to your blog – If you are using a widget ready theme, you will be able to paste the code as a text widget.

Easy enough huh? When you are logged into Google Friend connect, you have access to other gadgets, stats and more! You even can customize the colors on your widget to match your site. Now to add it to this blog!

Until Next Time
