I used to write an eponymous blog about my art process when I was actively painting and making sculpture. After a while, I started to feel my sense of privacy had become invaded, and I felt an odd pressure to become more political in my blog posts. While I do have political opinions, that was not the purpose of that blog, nor this one. So, I made my blog private or so I thought. (I just Googled myself–don’t act like you don’t do it too–and discovered this insidious little program called wpfind that posts snippets of private posts to the internet for the whole wide world to see. Thanks Big Brother.)
When I established the Love Kill Monster blog (to chronicle my art jewelry practice), I wanted to import some of my relevant postings from my old blog–but I couldn’t remember my WordPress password. So, I followed the password recovery steps, only the instructions were sent to a former gmail account that appears to have been involuntarily deleted (Probably for nonusage or some other arcane infraction.)
I once had a similar problem with a Yahoo email account. But I purposefully deleted the account not knowing that it affected my blogs, and Flickr account. After persistent grovelling and excessive emailling, Flickr restored my email and my Flickr account; anyway, my point is Yahoo had compassion. Will Gmail?
