Followers?????

Hello Blog World!  I know that my blog is new and I'm still working on it; however, I want some followers and want to take part in Blog Hops, etc.!  And, enjoy whatever other activities that a blogger does!  I don't know what you do at blog hops; however, I want in!  I figured out that there are three places, that I know of that you can follow from ... at the very top of my blog, where it says 'follow' and the 'Google Friend Connect Box' that I, finally, found and added (On the right of my blog).  And you can follow by email; which is located on the left side of my blog.  I look forward to meeting other bloggers!  Oh, non-bloggers are invited, to follow me, too!  L8r!  #Bear Luv and Bear Hugz!
