A Quick Note about GFC

This is just a really quick post, to say that I've decided to get rid of the Google Friends Connect Box, on the side bar of my blog. I'd been thinking about doing it for a while, after Bicky at Tastes Like Glitter kindly showed us how to do it on her blog, which you can check out for yourselves, in her post titled How To Get Rid of the GFC Box.

Don't worry, you can still follow me by clicking on the button on the sidebar, that looks like this one:

The reason that I've decided to remove the GFC box is because I've found that I'm obsessing about how many followers I do or don't have, and it's driving me crazy. So, my solution is to just remove it where I can't see it, but still happily allowing anyone who does want to follow to still do so.

Don't think that this means that I don't appreciate everyone who does follow, because trust me, if it wasn't for the support from you guys, I honestly would not still be writing this blog today :)

Do you find yourself obsessing about how many followers you and other bloggers have? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic, mainly because we live in a world where we are permanently comparing ourselves to each other, and I'd be interested to know how you think we can change that, in a blogging sense anyway.
