How to keep your Google Friend Connect followers when moving from Blogger to WordPress

Ok for real now!
1. Go here: http://www.google.com/friendconnect/ and sign in.
1a. If you have multiple sites listed, make sure you select from the one that has the GFC that you want to move to WP.
2. Click on Gadgets
3. Find Members and click Get This Gadget
4. Scroll down and click Generate Code
5. On the fourth line from the bottom, there is a code that looks like this:

{ id: ‘div-99999999999999999999’,

6. Copy that 20 digit number and paste it into notepad or something so you’ll have it for later.
7. On your WordPress Plugin page, install the plugin called Google Friend Connect Integration.  (Hint: If you put ‘google friend connect integration’ into the search term box, it’s the first one that pops up.)

Click ‘Install Now’ and then be sure to activate the plugin.
8. Under settings, you should see GFC Integration listed now. Click it.

9. Take the 20 digit code from before and paste it in the Friend Connect SiteId: box.  I chose to ignore everything else.   Click ‘Update Options’.

10. Go to your widgets page. Select GFC Members and slide it over to your sidebar.

From there you can customize the sizing and colors. The only thing I’ve changed on this site is the height- I made it 125 instead of the default 200

And that’s it!
