Are you clicking to agree to the terms and services - *and - are you putting in the verification code?

OK, I've managed to get as far as registering (though I didn't do anything different, it just let me do it this time). I set the template and gave details, no problems, I verified my email, though the site I clicked on that was prompted in the reply email was just a blank white page. When I went to login though...no it wasn't having any of that. Well at least I'm 3 steps further than I was 2 hours ago. I will try to login in later tonight and we shall see.

Try hitting CTRL F5. That'll clear out your page cache and reload the page fresh.

A blog gives you your own voice on the web. It's a place to collect and share things that you find interestingÃ¢â‚¬â€ whether it's your political commentary, a personal diary, or links to web sites you want to remember.

Many people use a blog just to organize their own thoughts, while others command influential, worldwide audiences of thousands. Professional and amateur journalists use blogs to publish breaking news, while personal journalers reveal inner thoughts.

Damn, its still not letting me login, I think I will have to register up a new account, I would like to blame forum garden, but as I realize I am an idiot, I shall reserve judgement on the system.

When you use this link www.forumgarden.net do you get a page where you enter your name...'Galbally' and your password '*****' atthe top ??

That should take you straight in.

I have saved that page in 'Favourites'...cos my memory is 'shot' & it makes it easier to get back in

I do, but when I enter the name and password it just brings me back to the login page again, minus the password, most frustrating.

I am, and I do, but we should concentrate on the blog thing first. What are your suggestions, I've tried to reregister using a different name, password etc, but it ain't having none of that. I can't login using the old one either, I have a feeling that this is more to do with me being an idiot than any inherent computer flaw, but you never know. Thank you for looking kindly upon this computer moron.

umm do you have caps lock on ahahaha sorry never mind, ok so you can get in period, my suggestion is let me try a fast setup for you and then give you a quick PM on details. I dunno if you have any kind of general computer setting that is dis-allowing you to get in there let me get back to you in a minute.

Okie dokie....went to the new-fangled weblog thingie and created my blog. Chose page colors, topics, titles and wrote my first entry. When I tried to check it out, I got my page to pop up for a split second and then it went to "page not available." It keeps doing that, however I try to access the page. Still working out kinks, Tombstone?

Well now, that link there works fine.

It was most likely a whoops in my computer. Makes me look rather foolish, though....:-3

Thanks Paul!

I'm emailing the link to my family and see if I can make it a miniforum for my family to keep in touch. We all live so far apart from each other.
