Thing 8

I would love to post a link to my Bloglines account, but I can't work it out. As far as I know my username is my email address, however when I create the following link http://www.bloglines.com/public/keziah.singleton@aucklandcity.govt.nz , it doesn't work - I get the message 'incorrect username'. I don't know what my username is and I can't work out how to find out. So someone will have to tell me? I notice that the link given in the training blog has the same construction as my attempt ie. http://www.bloglines.com/public/acl.elgar@gmail.com, and that doesn't work either!

Update: have battled my way to a username so here is the link as requested:

http://www.bloglines.com/public/Wilberforce

this looks to long
when you click on feeds it should say something similar to the above but shorter i.e. http://www.bloglines.com/public/keziah (the last bit is your user name)
Not sure if this helped or made you more confused...am happy to show you. You can give me a call - Jayne

I thought of that and so I have also tried the following:
http://www.bloglines.com/public/keziah
http://www.bloglines.com/public/keziah.singleton
http://www.bloglines.com/public/keziah.singleton
All with no success. I need to know how to ascertain my true username (I can't find this in the help or on the 'accounts' pages).
Please can you correct the link given in the training blog? This might give me a clue to how my username is formatted.

I have had another go at this and worked it out. In order to get a username you have to create a blog on Bloglines(not just use the RSS part). Then you have a username. So here is the link:
http://www.bloglines.com/public/Wilberforce
However I don't see the point of having two blogs. That's just a nuisance. So I won't be maintaining the Bloglines one.
