Well, actually I should have written that I have added the Avatar Plugin to the blog. But since the author of the plugin calls it the Gravatar plugin, then who am I to change that.

Well, actually this plugin supports a lot of Avatar based services including Gravatar, MyBlogLog and OpenAvatar (?).

What I did was I didn’t really understand the settings for this plugin so I just played around with the settings until I found that it could display avatars from MyBlogLog on the comments form. Well, what have I got to loose in that? I just left it at that.

I don’t really have the time to read manuals and make tweaks like that! I have a lot more on my plate than I can eat already so no more extra puddings (or help files) for me! Eeeeew! I feel like puking already….

Ok, I think that I should let you know that I created a browser search plugin for MyBlogLog. But since the link has not been posted yet on this new theme, I would like to re-post it for you all.

MyBlogLog Search Plugin v1.1

When I visited MyBlogLog this time around, I was shown a welcome message regarding the integration of MyBlogLog with Yahoo! and that from this point (or whatever point in the past) onwards, your MyBlogLog login information would have to be linked to your (if you have any, I do have one) Yahoo! login. This would, I was informed, make the site more easier to login to and blah blah blah…

After reading the message, I logged in with my Yahoo id and then tried to link it with my MyBlogLog id. OOPS! It just kept me going around in loops. Allow me to explain. First I logged in using my Yahoo! id. Then I was asked to provide my MyBlogLog login information. After I entered my MyBlogLog information, I was asked to sign-in again with my Yahoo! id. When I did that (again…), I was asked to provide my MyBlogLog information (again…) and the loop kept repeating endlessly.

Before you offer any remedy to this, I would like to mention to you that I did try many browsers like (IE7, Firefox 2, Opera 9) to dispel any doubt that this problem could be specific to any one browser alone.

Strange. Well, even I know that. As a result of this, I have not been able to access my account at MyBlogLog this whole week. Any remedies in sight? Anyone?

Anyone else experienced such problems? Share them with me.

Well, I was reading an article on the official MyBlogLog Blog when I happened to take a glance at the title of the blog and look what I found in the title: “MyBlogLog Blog : The source for All things MyBlogLog”. A tongue twister. Try saying ‘MyBlogLog Blog’ 10 or 15 times very fast and you will know what I mean.

It’s cool.

Well, I think many of you know it already. But, I’ll mention it anyway. Recently, this article posted on the Official Yahoo Publisher’s Network Blog, Groking MyBlogLog, talked about 11 great tips from the MyBlogLog Community Manager, Robyn Tippins.

It will surely serve your interests (and your blog’s) to check out what she has to say. This will make sure that you are top of that list getting traffic relevant to your topics/articles.

Ok, I am happy to tell you that I received a card of appreciation and some cool stickers from Ian Kennedy (who is the Product Manager) at MyBlogLog, for the MyBlogLog search plugin that I created for Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.

I have thanked him for appreciating my work and of course for giving us such a great product as MyBlogLog. I plan to create more of such useful utilities for us all at MyBlogLog as and when it is required in the future.

In the meantime, checkout the pictures of the greeting and the stickers that I got from Ian.
