MyBlogLog responds to account mixup.
In the last post I tried to warn you about possible danger to your MyBlogLog account. I wasn’t trying to scare anyone. I was concerned about the damage someone could do to your account if they didn’t realize it was the wrong one, or if they were just mean spirited.
To my surprise I actually got a comment from Ian Kennedy.
Hi Jason,
A handful of accounts were assigned to the wrong userID when we rolled in the Yahoo/MyBlogLog integration on Thursday. Please click on Contact Us in the footer of the page and we’ll get this sorted out for you.
Thanks,
Ian Kennedy

There you go. If you’re having trouble with your account use the “Contact Us” link. They’ll try to get it fixed.
I do have one other suggestion, if you’re having trouble logging into MyBlogLog. Try Firefox. For some strange reason MyBlogLog is working for me in Firefox now. I’m still having trouble with IE, no surprise, but at least I’m not landing in another person’s account. Now I’m being sent back to the login screen to try the merge over and over.

$500, no bull.
If you’re familiar with JohnCow.com then you probably know about the redesign. Looks like the Milk Man is finally breaking away from O.J. (other John) and striking out on his own. Not that he’s severing all ties. Nope, JohnCow is still raking in the moola. Not just for himself either, for his readers as well. After the success of his blog, it’s a pretty good bet he knows about making money online.
Win $500 at JohnCow.com.
The Milk Man knows that you have to spend money to make money, but you don’t have to spend your money. Somehow he’s talked his web hosting provider into putting up $500 as a prize, for the second time. All the rules can be found in the cow’s barnyard, err… blog.
How would I spend that $500?
I’ll admit, I’d be tempted to spend it on crap I don’t really need. Who wouldn’t? What I need to do is follow in the cows footsteps. (Insert poop joke here.)
What I need to do.
- I need to hire Hyder, they guy that came up with the Milk Man’s great new design.
- I need to promote my site.
- I need to give away something cool.
- I need to build traffic.
Would $500 cover all that? Nope, but it would be a start.

Your MyBlogLog account is in danger.
When I tried to sign into my account at MyBlogLog I found myself in the account of someone called “immortALance”. That is not my account.
Major security breach.
If you have an account at MyBlogLog, you’d better go check it out. I didn’t change anything for immortALance, but if someone else winds up in your account you might not be as lucky.
If you find that your account has been mixed up send an e-mail to MyBlogLog and let them know. They need to fix this. It is a major security problem. Any personal information in your account is in danger.

Starting write now.
Emma over at It’s Write Now is giving away an 8-Gig iPod Video Nano. Now that is a prize worth writing home about.
Seriously, that’s one of the best giveaways I’ve seen on a blog. To top it off, she paid for it herself. Unlike a lot of Big Name Blog giveaways where Big Name Bloggers give away stuff that was given to them. Shoot, even if I didn’t have a chance to win I had to write about that one.
Nope, no shwag cast offs here. So get over there and enter before Halloween.
