Everyone, take a chill pill, take a deep breath and relax. OK?
Honestly, I had an awesome time on GOOGLE +, lots of positive feedback for ITP, and I will miss everyone on GOOGLE +. BLOGSPOT will be the way it was pre-2010, before the GOOGLE + consolidation/integration.
My GOOGLE + might be going, but I have alot of wonderful memories.
For those noticing the lack of BLOGSPOT/GOOGLE + integration: Just cut and paste your BLOGSPOT post into your GOOGLE +. Yes, it's little more bureaucratic, a little more WORK, it CAN be done.
Feel free to add ITP V.019 on FACEBOOK, TWITTER and INSTAGRAM.
I have the worst headache today. It's warm out today in New York, U.S.A., I'm enjoying the mid winter sunshine as the snow is melting. .
The lack of GOOGLE +/BLOGSPOT integration might have an adverse effect on future posts hits.
ITP's vast archive and loyal readers will keep ITP at about 1, 000 hits per day.
BTW, BLOGSPOT will continue as BLOGGER aint going nowhere and ITP will continue.
ITP V.019 has added INSTAGRAM as a new syndicate.

GOOGLE + is closing the server 4/2/2019 as the server is already shutting down some features.
As I'm not sure how GOOGLE + shutdown will effect BLOGSPOT (BLOGGER has existed BEFORE the GOOGLE + consolidation), ITP has a mirror blog running privately as worst case scenario I will post publicly on a different server.
As of late last year, GOOGLE has no plans to shut down BLOGSPOT/BLOGGER:

I may ask some GOOGLE + friends to join me on FACEBOOK and /or INSTAGRAM.
Join ITP V.019 for updates here on FACEBOOK and send me a friend request.

An update on Google+ and Blogger
January 30, 2019
+1 buttons: The +1/G+ buttons and Google+ share links below blog posts and in the navigation bar will be removed.
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.
