ENG   And just in case you´ve missed the update on Google Friend Connect, please read it through below. My Followers button has been dead for about 3 weeks now, so please add me to your Google+ circles in order not to miss all the beautiful things I intend to create in the future and all the blog candies I intend to treat you with very soon!

 RU   А еще я хочу перепостить тут сообщение от Google. У них новые регуляции, касающиеся блоггера и ПЧ. Кнопки ПЧ барахлят у многих, моя так вообще не работает уже 3-ю неделю... И хотя моя проблема вроде не связана на прямую с обновлением регуляций, но решение своей проблемы я так и не нашла. Поэтому, если вы пользуетесь Google+, то, пожалуйста, добавьте меня в свои круги, если вас не затpуднит, конечно ;) Мало ли, какие еще проблемы ждут блоггер...

An update on Google Friend Connect
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. 
We know how important followers are to all bloggers, but we believe this change will improve the experience for both you and your readers. 
Thank you, 
Blogger support team
