Also, due to sooo much confusion out there, I am also attaching some info I copied right from Bloggers own site... hopefully this will answer some of your questions about switching to Google+. I don't like the whole idea of Google+ as I do not want to be connected to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or any of the other places it will connect you. Also, Blogger Followers is NOT going away if you use Blogger. I have added "Linky" for those who wish to follow me and are not on Blogger, ie, TypePad, etc. Hope this helps!
How do I switch to a Google+ profile? If you already have a public Google+ profile, you can click the gear icon at the top of your Dashboard and select "Connect to Google+," or visit this link to start the switching process. Why would I want to switch to a Google+ profile?Linking your blogs to your Google+ profile is a way to maintain one identity across the web, and you’ll have one less profile to manage and update. On your Google+ profile, you can link to your other online content in addition to blogs, which makes it easier for others to discover what you’ve produced on the web. Keep in mind that this switch is completely optional - it’s perfectly okay to continue using your Blogger profile on your Blogger blogs. This option is only for those who feel comfortable associating their Google+ profile with their blogs. What happens when I switch to a Google+ profile?Information on your blog previously based on your Blogger profile, such as your display name and your photo, will reflect the information from your Google+ profile. In places where your display name appears, your name on Google+ profile will begin to appear once you’ve made the switch. However, any comments you’ve made before the switch will continue to show your Blogger display name. All instances of your name on feeds, your Blogger profile gadget, new comments, and instances of your Blogger display name on past comments will link to your Google+ Profile. How will I control my Google+ profile privacy settings?You control your profile privacy settings and make all edits through Google+, and its settings will override any profile preferences made in Blogger before switching. Although you can set various privacy settings for specific fields of information, your real name and photo (should you choose to upload one) will be publicly available on Google+. If you blog under a pseudonym and do not want your blog to be associated with your real name, you should not migrate from a Blogger profile to a Google+ profile. Is associating my blog with my real name mandatory?No, associating your blog with your real name is not mandatory. The option to link the two should only be done by those who want to associate their real-world identity with their blogs. Can I use a different Google+ profile for different blogs?Just as you only had one Blogger profile for all your blogs, you can only have one Google+ profile for them. This remains consistent with the purpose of Google+, which is to help you keep one identity across the web. However, if you have more than one Google Account, you can move a blog between accounts. When I switch to a Google+ profile, what happens to my Blogger profile?Your Blogger profile will become unavailable for visitors, and everyone will be redirected to your Google+ profile. I have lots of information on my Blogger profile. Will those be added onto my Google+ profile automatically?Information won’t be transferred automatically. You choose what you’d like to move over to your new Google+ profile. Which blogs will this switch affect?The profile switch will affect all blogs you can contribute to, including multiple-author blogs. To see all the blogs affected, check the list on your dashboard, making sure to include any blogs that may be hidden by clicking “Show all.” If I switch to a Google+ profile and change my mind, can I switch back?Yes, you can always revert to your Blogger profile. However, all the changes that you made to your Google+ profile won’t transfer over to your Blogger profile. updated 12/12/2011 | Blogger's on Google+.

Happy birthday dear sweet Tessy,
Happy birthday to you.
I hope you are having the best birthday ever, Tessy! We would send you a really big sloppy kiss, but you wouldn't want it right now. Tell your mama to come to our blog and show you the picture of Sophie, and then you will understand what I am saying.
Happy birthday, sweet girl!
happy Birthday to the sweetie Princess Tessy! Oh she is such a cutie.
So glad you have found each other.
I added linky for my many friends that don't use blogger, because I didn't want to lose them.

Here is an article about what will happen to those of us who do not choose to go with Google+.

A little heavy handed of Google to try and force all of us to use their product to the exclusion of all others.
