@Meyerweb

Your feelings of impending loss must be unbearable...

@Meyerweb Oh you got one too? I had a blog linked there, and it was a single blog post with a list of links to (mostly) online acquaintances and their personal blogs or forums they created. As it is with such things, most links were rotten. Given this was from my teenage years, probably for the best, but still quite the throwback (though I only remember like 3 of those 40+ people)

@Meyerweb You’d better go start a blog over there, so you can then proceed to save it from deletion.

@Meyerweb I never had a blog on Blogger.com, and got the same email. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with this information.

@Meyerweb I got the same thing, but the account associated with it had been changed from an external email login to a gmail one at some point, so it had orphaned the blogger account (I think). I can still see the blogs with the gmail account.

@Meyerweb Got the same. Blogger was my first ‘CMS.’ When it was Pyra’s my login was my first name.
