Google Friend Connect widget
-
I downloaded a Google Friend Connect widget from WordPress, but the installation instructions were not very clear. Can someone give me step by step instructions for activating the newly installed widget?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There are two problems with that:
1. Plugins that you download from WordPress.org (like the widget you mention) can only be used on self-hosted WordPress.org sites—not on WordPress.com.
2. Google Friend Connect can now only be used on Blogger.com.

3. FWIW Google announced their service ‘Google Friend Connect’ would be discontinued as of March 1st 2012. The official announcement can be read here. http://googleblog.blogspot.ca/2011/11/more-spring-cleaning-out-of-season.html Hence I wouldn’t be surprised if it is discontinued.

I think that announcement only applies to non-Blogger sites. I think (although I’m not sure … don’t feel like digging up my long-dormant Blogger account to check) that the “Google Friend Connect” functionality (if not the name) is still present in the Blogger “Followers” widget: http://support.google.com/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&source=gfc&answer=104226&rd=2
