For those of you who used to follow Deanna on My Country Genes blog, you are most likely getting posts from "The Broom Tree" in your reading list. Deanna closed down her blog, but what happens is that the blog address remains available and anyone can take it over, and apparently take it over with it's followers intact. I tried to delete it from my list of blogs that I follow, but Google won't allow me to manage my list of blogs. That REALLY pisses me off.
Edited:
So I found a way to unsubscribe to these blogs- but they are still showing up. I opened View inGoogle Reader, clicked the gear icon on the right, went to Reader Settings, then to Subscriptions, clicked the box next to the ones I wanted to unsubscribe to, and clicked on the unsubscribe button. It asks if you want to unsubscribe to these feeds. I sez yes. So I look, and it made them disappear from the list. But only in Google Reader's list! On my list of blogs I follow on my dashboard, they are still there. HOWEVER. I did this about an hour ago, and then when I opened my blog again and had a look- they were right back on the list. What the hay? So I unsubscribed again. I'll see what happens tomorrow. Aaaaarrrrrgggghhh!

Report it to Google as spam - I did that this afternoon.
Go to manage blogs, then sign in (again) and click the round gear icon to the right side of the screen. That should display all your followed blogs - scroll down to My Country Genes and stop following - that should do it - I just did it and we'll see.
I tried that Kate, this is the message I get:

This has been going on all summer, I've tried to delete other blogs from my follow list that are inactive, but- no can do.
Sorry, I haven't been by lately. Rio looks like he is doing great with the ground work!
I can tell from your tone you are unimpressed. Sorry kind of made me chuckle I so seldom hear you cuss.
I noticed that I could not remove myself from following blogs either, kinda annoying, and so I see them all the time on my home page and I just am not interested in them anymore, I wish I could remove them easier.
my hubby helped shirley fix it.
Wow I had no idea they could take your blog name that is awful.Good luck. B
Buttons, they took over the web address, not the blog name.
Yeah! had a s**t load from that Broom blog, disguised as My country genes. I clicked the "stop following" icon on the settings page, and its gone, gone gone!
hmmm... I used to follow he too and I missed her last post and don't know what happened. Did she get hurt again, sell all her horse, or just decide blogging wasn't for her? Does anyone know?
