Baby Troll Blog
is ten today. Go spank it!
I tried to leave a comment, and after I typed it and clicked submit, it threw my carefully typed comment away and told me I had to be logged in. Then, I logged in, after having to change my password since I forgot it, and then carefully resubmitted a comment, and it threw that one out too. So I hope you have more luck wishing him happy blogiversdary than I did!
That right there is why I’m going to WordPress. They just hijack your email address and tell you it belongs to a WordPress account that’s not logged in.
Or something.

MEh… same thing here…
I see I screwed the pooch on the link, too. Gimme second.
The WordPress account that you never knew about caught me out until I read the instructions. If you click on the icon in the comment login box you get to a place where you can “change” i.e. set the password and display name.
Yebbut, that changes the setting for your real account. My problem is that they won’t let me delete my wordpress.COM account, when I don’t really need it — since I have professional (i.e., paid) hosting and a wordpress.ORG account. And WP-COM keep tripping over its dick.

It’s really annoying, Mark. I have just about given up trying to comment
I think all computer security is verfuckled and would prefer to be able to do without it. Unfortunately, there are these assholes who ruin it for everybody else.
So I hereby propose a bounty on assholes and douchebags. No amount. No source of funds. No requirements as to condition (dead, alive, presenting heads, ears, tails for proof), just that there IS a bounty.
Think it’ll have any effect?

I agree with Mark. To the point where I’ve stopped recommending WP.com for alternatives to Blogger. And when I FINALLY got ahold of a “happiness engineer” I was informed that they COULD NOT delete the TWO accounts (that THEY had created without my permission) because it would delete the user name and someone else could use it!!! Except BOTH accounts have the same user name….talk about screwed up.
Og, carefully type your comments onto a Word document, which you have saved on your PC with your latest paragraph(s) on top, and save it. This can be a long running document titled “comments” or something like that. Then copy and paste the latest paragraph into the comments block. If you bobble it you always have the comments saved to copy and try to paste again.
