This is a WordPress blog.

You might not know (or care!) what that means. But I love every. single. one. of my followers and some of my wonderful awesome blog readers–who are just friends I haven’t met yet, if I may borrow a phrase from Allison over at O My Family–use Google and these things matter.

Why? Because Google is moving to Google + and Google Friend Connect will no longer work on non-Google blogs. (Which would be here, since this is a WordPress blog.)

So if you’re not one of my Google followers, or you don’t use Google + or Chrome, you don’t have to keep reading if you don’t want to. (But I included some adorable pictures to ease the techno-junk in this post in case you want to stick around!)

Whispering together.

But if you are one of my wonderful awesome blog readers (and friends, if I may?!) that is a Google fan–NO PROBLEM. (I hope!)

Nope, none at all. (I think!)

You’ll notice that I’ve added a G+ button up there on the top left sidebar. Just click on it and head over to my profile page and follow me from there. I’m still getting the hang of posting over there, but I have a lot of regular Google readers, so I’m doing it just for you guys! (Yep, I told ya you guys were wonderful and awesome!)

The Google Friend Connect box will be going away later this week, but you can just follow me now by clicking over to G+ (or come back later and do it!). Problem solved! (I hope!)

If that doesn’t work, feel free to email me and I’ll try to figure it out. (I probably haven’t figured this out on the first try like it seems I have. That would be too easy!) {grin}

Motherhood.

You can also just use the RSS link to follow using whatever reader you prefer. I use My Yahoo, personally, and import all my RSS feeds there.

You might also see that I revamped that upper right sidebar and now you can check out my boards on Pinterest too. If you’re not on Pinterest, just click on over and ask for an invite. I’ll be glad to send you one like someone did for me! And it’s super fun (although also a total time suck!) and you’ll probably see me referencing it a lot as we work through our home projects this year. It’s been quite a help for me to stay motivated.

We’re also going to be redeveloping the Our Farm page into a space to actually sell farm products–mostly wool and yarn to start with. And over the next few weeks I’m considering adding some affiliate links, which means I’ll be adding a disclaimer policy soon.

Lots of good changes coming this year, but most of High Cotton will be staying the same. I kinda like it just the way it is.
