My Old Blog is Alive

I have an old blog before this one but I neglected it long time ago. But now its alive!!!

I was able to reclaim it under my Google account. I previously used Yahoo email on this.

I really like how Google handle this kind of situation. Think of it, I lost the access of this blog long time ago. I still remember the title and managed to remember also the url, but i can't login. Today while I was searching my name in Google, the profile of my old blog was listed. It happens every time, but this time I decided to try to reclaim it. In my profile I saw my old Yahoo email. I am still using this old email. I just can't throw it away even if I really want to. I tried multiple times to login but every time I do it, somehow it redirected to my other blog under my Google account. I wonder why Google designed it like this. It leaves me blind to what really happened to my old account. Was it deleted or deactivated? But I can still see my old blogs. After many tries i finally understand why it happened that way. I logged in under Google account login! Yet there are no option for the old account login!

So I decided to try another approach. I leave the username and password blank then click the sign-in button. This time it showed me the other login page. And it was showing now the option for old login. I still can't login though, because I forgot my username and password! It took four times of try before I finally got my username right, but I still can't guess my password.

In the end I just click the "Forgot your password?" link. After I received the email with the link for reclaiming the site I was given an option to transfer it in my Google account. So that's what I did.

Thanks for reading this post.
