Andrew Hatchett Heh Andy, I tried to restore an 8 MB Blogger backup today, just to confirm what Blogger would do with any embedded Google+ comments. It failed miserably: My "I'm not a robot" CAPTCHA prompt kept expiring every 90 sec. This happened in both Chrome and Forefox. I was also presented with a photo-selection verification a couple of times, but it made no difference. Have you heard of that before?

Use G Suites & Google Voice? Get Ready!

Use G Suites & Google Voice? Get Ready!

Another casualty. Just got this in email to the admin address of one of my G Suite domains:

Google logo
Hello Administrator,

We are reaching out to people who may have customized their Google Voice incoming call rules based on Google+ Circles. In light of the upcoming changes to Google+ and in the interests of our adopters, we will be removing call routing rules based on Google+ Circles on March 4 2019. From our analysis it appears that users in your domain have created custom call routing rules based on Google+ Circles.

What does this mean for my organization?

After March 2019, incoming calls to Google Voice phone numbers used by members of your organization will not follow any settings they may have had for callers in Google+ Circles. All other call routing rules, such as those based on members’ Google Contacts, will remain intact.

What actions do I need to take?

We recommend reaching out to the affected users and informing them of this update. Google Voice is not currently included in the core services for support and all configuration changes must be made by the users themselves.

We’re here to help

If you have additional questions or need assistance, please contact Google support. When you call or submit your support case, reference issue number 123541551.

Sincerely,

The G Suite Team

* You will no longer be able to add a channel icon or cover art in the YouTube mobile app

I know a bunch of you have been playing with Blogger, so this may be of interest.

If you aren't using Google+ Comments or a Google+ Profile for your Blogger account, these changes shouldn't affect your blog.

If you are using Google+ Comments, they are going to disappear on Monday :(

Originally shared by Peggy K

Blogger will start removing Google+ features beginning February 4th, including Google+ comments, widgets and profiles

Today Blogger announced they would begin removing Google+ integrations Monday, February 4th. Note that if you do not use Google+ Comments or a Google+ Profile for your Blogger blog, you won't see much difference. Your blog posts and Blogger Comments won't be affected.

* Blogs will be switched from Google+ Comments to Blogger Comments on February 4th .

Google+ Comments cannot be migrated to Blogger Comments and they are not included in the Google Takeout archive or backup files for your Blogger account. Enjoy them now while you can.

* Google+ widgets will be removed from Blogger blog Layouts on February 4th

This includes Google+ Followers, Google+ +1 and G+ buttons, and the Google+ Badge.

If you manually added Google+ buttons or badges, or you are using a 3rd party template, you may need to remove those manually. They will stop displaying on March 7th when the Google+ API shuts down.

* Blogger will no longer support Google+ Profiles starting in March

If you use a Google+ Profile for Blogger, you will be prompted to create your Blogger profile the first time you sign in after the change.

You can switch from a Google+ Profile to a Blogger profile now: https://www.peggyktc.com/2017/02/set-profile-blogger-account.html#switch

A message from Blogger:

We are sorry for the inconvenience these changes may cause, but we look forward to delivering fresh functionality to Blogger in the coming year. Thanks for your continued loyalty.
