We have the same problem. Google Friend Connect appears and then disappears when we post an article or make some other small change. We’ve tried changing colors and moving it from sidebar to sidebar to test page. Our friends still show in Google, but we can’t get them to appear on our blog. Also, Connect is not sending out our blog posts to us as a member of Friend Connect. We wonder why no on is responding to this thread. Has anyone tried to get an answer from Google?
