I was almost locked out of gmail too but thankfully I was able to text a confirmation when I tried logging in with my alternate yahoo email. <br /><br />I ended up switching to WP so I'm in a totally foreign land now trying to get used to everything. :)<br /><br />I am thankful for blogging community too! It's nice to have someone to share with that actually has the frame of reference to understand what you're talking about. The non bloggy people just think you're crazy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121857171849337021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-25779261150200684642012-03-03T00:13:49.766-05:002012-03-03T00:13:49.766-05:00Oh YIKES.

I have a close community of online friends, but a lot of them aren't bloggers so chances are slim they would know how to help me in this situation. I definitely want to make more connections in the blogging world. Hoping the Haven conference will help out with that!Beth @ UnskinnyBoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09732278591792069051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-77551004140672407162012-03-02T09:32:37.354-05:002012-03-02T09:32:37.354-05:00Oh my!

My hub works in network security. The 'net can be a scary place (and he wasn't exactly overly thrilled at me starting a blog - but can we really expect men to truly understand a woman's need to gab and share and record and...you know...haha!)<br />So glad you got it fixed. Awful feeling. AND even more glad that commented on a bunch of your posts BEFORE this one...heehee...so you can see I'm genuinely interested in your blog and not just b/c of this post. ;)<br /><br />Have a great day! I really need to dig into more of your blog. I like it here! :)Gail@Sophisticated Stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173434362142173898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-33616005637079059772012-03-01T23:18:47.862-05:002012-03-01T23:18:47.862-05:00So scary!
