Well, maybe blogger has .5 instead of a 0. But, I'm still definitely winning. What am I talking about?
Okay, when I started blogging many moons ago, it was before google and blogger merged. (I know. I'm old). Anyway, I used to sign in with my hotmail addy. That addy doesnt even EXIST anymore. I tried to change it many, many, MANY times and blogger wasn't having any of it. I had my gmail addy linked to my profile, but could not actually sign in with my gmail address or make it the primary account address. So, every time I was in gmail, I could NOT also be logged in to blogger at the same time b/c it was saying the accounts weren't linked. So, to get into blogger, I'd log out of gmail and then log in to blogger with my old hotmail addy. Annoying right? Yeah. Also, I couldn't read blogs in google reader or anything.
This makes about as much sense to you as it did to me.
I read the help forums.
I tried to reach out to support.
I.did.everything. (At least I did everything I knew I could do).
And finally just gave up a year or so ago.
BUT!
With the help of a social media savvy co-worker, we started playing around... And I eventually was able to remove the hotmail addy from my profile. BUT, when I did that, that hotmail account lost all admin/author privileges. In other words, I also lost my profile linked to it and all the blogs I followed under it. So, yeah, that's annoying. But, everything else is intact. *Phew*
This is a rant to say... I am trying to transfer the blogs I was following (b/c I can still log in to that old blogger account, but it's just no longer linked to The Roaring Twenties), but if I can't, I'm going to have to go back and follow everyone again... I'm okay with doing that b/c having my blog linked to gmail is so.much.easier. in the long run. :)
So, it'll likely take me a few days to get my following list back up to speed. Just know that if I'm not popping over to say hello or you don't see me on your follower list, that's why!
This was a really confusing post. *cringe* haha...
Also, feel free to leave a comment if you're following and want me to follow back! I'm going to go through and re-create my following list, but don't wanna miss anyone!

OH my word what a nightmare. Blogger has been acting SO FUNKY lately it's getting really annoying. Glad it was not worse like a total blog crash or something! Phew!! Happy to be a long time loyal follower :)
When I first started blogging, I was having the same problem! I couldn't be logged in and still read through google reader!
So annoying!
How annoying! Half the time I'm not sure where my follower list goes ...
I think you were following, but I'm not sure if you got lost in the shuffle - www.thestrengthoffaith.com
Hang in there! xoxo
How annoying. BUT! YOU CHANGED YOUR COMMENTS SO I CAN WRITE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, it deserved capital letters :)
That would drive me crazy. Want to hear something funny? Earlier this morning, I saw your pretty face in my followers box and thought... weird, she's never followed me before!! haha ;)
Phew, glad you got that figured out. You would think it wouldn't be such a hassle.
I just had to do that when I created a new email address for the blog. ANNOYING. If you find a faster way you should DEFINITELY blog about it! LOL I had to go refollow all my blogs. And then unfollow them with the old address. UGH! LOL
BTW I'm a follower! :)
I hate it when I run into problems like that ! SoooOo annoying! I hope you get caught up quickly !
Ps. I am a new visitor :)
Gosh what a bummer! I'm sure it will be worth it when its done!
I'm a follower ;)
I was wondering where you have been :)
This is good to know because I'm in the same boat! My e-mail addy for blogger isn't the addy I use for everything else. I only log into it to respond to comments!
Blogger is on my list lately. BUT, I'm happy I can comment again!!! (Blogger... FIX THAT!!)
I mean, I'm sure if I got erased, I was one of the first you remembered to follow;) Glad you were able to get things fixed!! You are soon going to be my Social Media sensi:)
I bet bloggers will be hunting you done to get you back. Glad it's working lady and might be nice to start from scratch?!?! My list is never ending. Might be refreshing!
Blogger is so confusing sometimes!I login in to my blogger with my hotmail address and I can't figure out how to respond to someone when they leave me a comment. So annoying!!!
Glad you got it figured out...what a pain!
glad you got everything worked out :) Blogger gives me fits sometimes too..
I haven't been "blogging" for long- but I've been following you for awhile! Love reading your blog- and its kind of ironic that I started following you over a year ago- and within the last month or two I've moved to Oklahoma with my fiance'!
Hope you will follow my new blog!

Ugh! I've been having so many problems with blogger/Reader lately! I think I told you in a previous comment about how I can't comment in Internet Explorer anymore, only chrome. I feel your pain!
You know I follow you girl and LOVE your blog. :) Sorry I've been a bit behind lately but know I'm here and I read up on how you are doing! xoxo!
