One Blogger, two accounts *grumps*

I weirdly discovered I used to have another page here on blogger.  It explains why I had to hyphenate starwefter on this one; I'd already used it there, and apparently when Blogger was bought up by one of the other companies (Yahoo I think?) I got closed out of it.  

I had the same problem on YouTube  -- when it was taken over they made us put channels up that were connected to our Google accounts and connecting them to our previous accounts that were under whatever pseudonym we'd used (mine was probably also starwefter there) was a total pain in the neck.  You used to have to sign out and back in and hope for the best.  They finally came up with a way to link your accounts, but till then if you had a list of videos you'd saved it was nigh impossible to get back to it, or to edit it by adding new videos to it.  Heaven help the people who'd actually uploaded to a channel!

The joys of corporate gobble-up. 

If anyone cares, my old blog is here: http://starwefter.blogspot.com/.  I think it has an entire one entry.

And yes, I'm salty that I can't get into it or connect it to this.
