G+ has nothing to do with your blog as such, though it is an alternative place for the profile info - which can then be expanded as much or as little as you wish for other work. The Blogs work independently.... AND YOUR'S IS FAR FROM BORING!!! I love the history you share. <br /><br />Everything is going online, ultimately, be it banking, shopping - everything short of going to the toilet! It is inevitable; all we can do is do our best not to be run over by the 21st century equivalent of the steam engine... of course that was the start of the modern decline into mechanism, but don't get me started!

I have no idea what G+ is (did I get that right). I am almost computer illiterate and although I did try to understand what this was about I was completely out of my depth.<br />From what I did glean from your writing makes me think my blog is one the simple, more boring types but without anyone here by my side to make it better, it must stay as it is.<br />I admire people who have your type of intelligence and often wish some of it may run off but I guess it's a little late for me at my time of life.<br />I am on Facebook but don't use it as a social media type of thing but rather more because it does have Scrabble which is a game I really enjoy and share about 50 games with people from around the world. They say it is relatively safe from intruders and so far I've had no problems with it. You can block people you don't wish to have anything to do with etc.<br />I use the internet to do my banking and always keep my fingers crossed that some brain out there doesn't find a way to hack into our bank. I can't get to the bank so it is the easy way to pay accounts. I refuse to go paperless as so many institutions keep asking us to do. If my computer breaks down then I will still receive my bills in the post and pay them at the post office. so there.<br />Have a great weekend. xx<br />Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874342578431143001.post-39765362006640540732015-05-15T15:16:31.760+05:302015-05-15T15:16:31.760+05:30Hari OM

This is also points to the settings on Blogger itself - I have mine at 'registered users only'; those types of commercial spams are automated and require that the comments are 'open to anyone'. Occasional one's get round this filter but they are rare and of course in Blogger it is very easy just to send them to the spam bin.<br /><br />G+ has been doing a lot to satisfy end-user wishes for a truly friendly place to play, meet and greet according to individual desires - matching "lpl" experience....

No doubt I could have changed some settings and prevented this, but this experience did put me off trying G+ again.<br />Cheers, Gail.WFT Nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315143664245246248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874342578431143001.post-80176322665737518732015-05-15T02:47:22.509+05:302015-05-15T02:47:22.509+05:30We occasionally check google but not very often - ...We occasionally check google but not very often - sometimes if just seems like overload with blogger, twitter, instagram, facebook, pintrest and now google circles.Cowspotdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227650305173077541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874342578431143001.post-6969736441081846992015-05-15T01:53:35.133+05:302015-05-15T01:53:35.133+05:30We are still CONTEMPLATING it..... butt admit we...We are still CONTEMPLATING it..... butt admit we are sort of Set in our Ways....and DO like Blogger the way it IS....
