A few days ago I had a bit of a battle with Google and a bit of software wot I use to check mail on servers. Short story longish, during the fight I found myself clicking through a few Google pages without paying much attention as to wot I was clicking on. This resulted in a password change etc.
All done and guess wot the result was? By some clicking, not yet fully understood, I found myself with two Google accounts one of which contains ol’ Foggy and the other seemed to be a blank. No Blog.
However, on further clicking I found the Gmail bitty, although empty of mail, had close to a hundred contacts listed. Some I recognised others not but they all went back to the mists of time at work.
From that I’m guessing that, via various clicks, I’d resurrected a long dormant and forgotten account and when I signed up to Blogger, didn’t realise that wot I thought was just E-mail had grown to include all Google offerings so the ‘old’ account could’ve been used for Blogging. No idea.
Strangely, if I send myself an E-mail, it only shows up in the one account and not in the resurrected one. Go figure...
Anyhoo, I don’t need two accounts and all searching regards deleting one of two say it’s safe so to do with no effect on the other.
Have I done it yet? No and I keep putting it off for fear of, via fumbling clicks, making years of the Mirror disappear.
Anyhoo, if Foggy do suddenly go you’ll know I done did it and all advice regards the safety of the remaining site didn’t work for me. Or I fumbled the bits to click on. I do believe I’ll put it off a tad longer...
So there you go; was that a boring waste of tap-top tapping time or wot?
