Farewell, faint-hearted

I was shocked and appalled to see that my follower count in Google's friend connect has gone down. Alright, not really. My wife's blog once again has more followers than mine. This is not surprising since she can actually write funny and insightful posts, but it still hurts my pride because her blog is private (which is why I did not link to it).

C'mon people! Stand up and be counted! I actually understand why the follower left: I probably got too geeky for them. While I hope to have a heavy tech bent on this blog, for a while the only things I blogged about had to do with my involvement in the LDS church. I even briefly changed the name of the blog to "Mormon Yankee Hacker." I have now refocused on tech, but there is a button on the right to my mormon.org profile. I also reserve the right to talk about whatever I want to. It is my blog after all.

The point of this post is to ask for you to follow me on Google friend connect. Then subscribe to my feed. I know everything I write may not be gold, but every once in a while I hit something good!

  1. Shows what I know. The person who left my blog left the LDS church. Apparently it was the Mormon stuff and NOT the geeky stuff that drove them away.

  2. From my blog. I doubt that anything I said drove them away from the church. At least, I hope not.

  3. How did you find out that was why?

  4. I follow this individual on Twitter. When I saw they had stopped following I looked at Twitter and found a connected blog which detailed what was going on.

  5. Actually I unfollowed all the blogs I was reading and switched what I could to Windows Live Mail. I'm terrible at keeping up with my blogs and Windows Live Mail notifies me when there are new posts. I'll be reading on Windows Live Mail, but I did hit the 'connect' button so it would show me on your list of followers! :)
