Problem Following Blog

I am aware of the login issue with "following" from redirected gmail accounts (among others.) I'm looking into a solution and will post asap. If anybody has figured it out please post a comment. Thanks!

UPDATE:

I'll organize this better later, but I wanted to put out a few basic requirements to follow (google glitches aside.)
  1. Locate the "follow" button on the right-hand side of the screen (it sometimes appears at the very top on the left as a link, but it's more fickle than my grandma.)
  2. You must have a valid and direct gmail, yahoo or twitter account to register to follow. What this means is that redirected email accounts aren't working [if John's email is john@johndoe.org but it redirects to a gmail account like johndoe100000@gmail.com, John must use the actual gmail account login NOT the johndoe.org login.]
  3. To avoid problems, sign out of your google, yahoo or twitter account BEFORE clicking the "follow" button on the right.
  4. Also, sometimes google automatically provides you with a gmail account login. If this login is old or not yours, click on the "sign in with a different user" link just below the login and password fields.
  5. If you don't sign out, use a redirected blog or sign in with your current gmail account, you could run into an issue like this:
I'm following Browe's blog privately b/c I couldn't figure out how to
follow with updated information...it's using my profile from two years
ago! Random, but I will be able to follow which is the point. xoxo

If you are experiencing a unique issue please email me directly and I will do my best to fix. I hope this helps!!

2ND UPDATE:

I removed a couple options from the blog to cut down on any coding conflicts within it. I am hoping this results in an easier following experience. The blogger simply has kinks in it, but it's free (so, I'm trying very hard to resist the urge to complain.)

Again, thank you everyone for your interest in joining.

If your computer is already logged in via Gmail or Google (just check by first opening up a new tab or browser and typing in www.gmail.com), then log out.

You'll have to log-in again when you click on "Follow" but at least you'll be able to follow (and not whoever else used your computer).

Make sense?

I went the lazy route and connected through my twitter.

There are definitely some functions on here that are not user friendly. Either google updates or I'll port it to a different site eventually and maintain it myself.

I have been getting a lot of our friend's asking how to become a follower so I am glad you are addressing it! You are amazing (and that's not just cause I love you). :)
