Sensei Came Through for Grasshopper with Google+ Problem

I posted several weeks ago that I was having problems posting my ActiveRain blog on Google+. Of course, I was baffled when I started getting blocked and then the Trulia merger came about and I thought this was the issue. But sadly after adding the word 'trulia" into my email links, it was still blocked and not working.

ActiveRain Ambassador Jerry Newman sent me an email and said he could help. We emailed back and forth a few times and this week we talked for about an hour. Jerry had me go through all the links on ActiveRain and Google+. We both realized part of the problem was that I have 2 Google+ accounts and my gmail seems to default to the other one. So after diagnosing the problems, Jerry and I both decided that I better shut down the 2nd Google+ account.

After shutting it down, and going through Google Authorship another time and then shutting down the computer and restarting it .......I was then able to post with my Google+ Social Media Button.

Jerry Newman was a great help and I would still be confused and not able to post if it were not for Jerry Newman. I was reading his Google+ account while checking out his links and saw many comments from other members who talked about what a great guy Jerry is and how smart he is and I can attest to that now. He knows a lot about computers, websites and he even has his social media buttons at the signature area of his email. How remarkable. We talked again this morning and I told him it was now working and it was all because of him. Jerry Newman was on his way out to show property but made time to help me again this morning. What a guy!

ActiveRain is made up of a lot of professionals with many backgrounds and we all have our own specialities. Reach out to someone you admire and ask them for help if you have a problem. We are a network of AR members who share and learn from each other. 

Don't sit on your hands like I did but reach out and ask if you need some assistance or if you just want to say hello. See you in the Rain and on Google+.

Hi Bob,

I am so sorry and thought this was just my problem. Sorry you have had these problems but now I know it was not me but some AR glitch. Anyway, Jerry Newman was a great guy and took time out of his day twice to help. 

Put the photo in Google+, then add the link in the comment area and it should post. It is not as easy as before, but works OK.

Hi Endre,

I just commented on your post. I am sorry others are having problems but glad to know it is not just me. I felt so frustrated and lost. Have a great Sunday.

Actually, I think it's AR that has the issue.  I have multiple G+ accts and have for years. 

I did have a problem posting and it happened a day or two before the merger. others had issues then, too.  I think that they may have resolved the problem, but the issue seemed to be AR's issue not ours.

Hi Dick,

It was a great challenge and it gets us out there to network on a personal level with each other.

Hi Debbie,

I wish I had known that before I shut down one of my accounts but at least it makes it easier now.

Thanks for the nice write up about our meeting, Kristin. I was glad to offer some help to solve your Google Plus issues, but like Debbie mentioned above. It might have something to do with AR, since I've had Tom just call to discuss his concerns, and his problems started right about the time of the big change over.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for all  your help and it is always good to have someone to bounce a problem off of and I will be excited to hear from you about the social media buttons when you find out how to insert into gmail.
