google and wordpress

So I have a gmail account and it has a profile attached to it with a photo. Well that photo got updated to be the same as my gravatar here. I didn’t do that. I find it odd. I guess the accounts are somewhat linked. I’ll probably just leave it.

I do have the likes turned off for my posts. To do that you go into the settings and under “sharing” you click near the bottom for likes being turned on per post. Its just a lot of people on here like a ton of posts as a sort of advertising for their own site. I’d rather not be a part of that.

  1. Oh, thanks for telling me this. I got all excited because someone I did not know “liked” my bead blog, and then I went to her site, and she had 4000 friends. Oh, that is really stupid. I do not want “likes” that are random and the person probably did not even read my blog. I will turn mine off, too.

    • they do like in the hopes you will follow them and obviously it works if that person has 4000 people following. I find it spammy and think its wordpress spam to like a ton of posts. I think also some use a computer program to do it. definitely they are not reading it.

    • also I don’t follow anyone besides you and a friend. screw all the people who are advertising in order to get follows. most who followed my photo blog are just spammers.

  2. I turned off the likes but it still shows up. I guess I forgot to do “update”

    • well I thought I looked at your blog and it looked turned off. you will still get notifications on here though for likes even if they are turned off. they can’t be turned off completely. turning them off just makes them not show up on your blog as ads.
