An update on Google+ and Blogger

Following the announcement of Google+ API deprecation scheduled for March 2019, a number of changes will be made to Blogger’s Google+ integration on 4 February 2019.

Google+ widgets: Support for the “+1 Button”, “Google+ Followers” and “Google+ Badge” widgets in Layout will no longer be available. All instances of these widgets will be removed from all blogs. 



+1 buttons: The +1/G+ buttons and Google+ share links below blog posts and in the navigation bar will be removed.




Please note that if you have a custom template that includes Google+ features, you may need to update your template. Please contact your template supplier for advice.

Google+ Comments: Support for Google+ Comments will be turned down, and all blogs using Google+ Comments will be reverted back to using Blogger comments on 4 February 2019. Unfortunately, comments posted as Google+ comments cannot be migrated to Blogger and will no longer appear on your blog.



Google+ Profile: In March 2019, Blogger will revert to only having Blogger profiles. Users that have selected a G+ profile in the past will appear as unknown authors until they next login to Blogger and supply a new display name and avatar.



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.

If you have questions about any of these changes or need help navigating them, please visit our Blogger Help Forum.

National Emergency Order to Include $7 Billion For Border Wall – Draft Being Worked

President Trump is planning on pulling money from the Pentagon’s budget citing Title 10 of the US Code. A national emergency declaration could be used to gather funding from various governement departments. Of course, the funding for these requests have already been approved from the previous fiscal year.

Listed here will be the variety of government offices that President Trump will have the legal authority to draw from.


  • $681 million from treasury forfeiture funds

  • $3.6 billion in military construction

  • $3 billion in Pentagon civil works funds

  • $200 million in Department of Homeland Security funds


The White House is preparing a draft proclamation for President Donald Trump to declare a national emergency along the southern border and has identified more than $7 billion in potential funds for his signature border wall should he go that route, according to internal documents reviewed by CNN.
“The massive amount of aliens who unlawfully enter the United States each day is a direct threat to the safety and security of our nation and constitutes a national emergency,” a draft of a presidential proclamation reads.
“Now, therefore, I, Donald J. Trump, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C 1601, et seq.), hereby declare that a national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States,” the draft adds.
The draft was updated as recently as last week, a US government official told CNN.

Here’s more on the story from the mainstream media arm of CNN.
