Thanks to Google and Yahoo...

Okay first, I welcome myself again to post items into this blog. I should thank both the giants "Google" and "Yahoo" for making this possible.

I have to really appreciate yahoo mail management s/w team, which let me retrieve my lost account and password. I am not sure how, but an year ago I lost (shamefully) my one of my yahoo account. As many of you do, I also have multiple yahoo accounts for different purposes and the one I used for blogger.com was suddenly closed (for what ever reason). I tried to log in many times but blogger.com did not allow me to login, and when I used the infamous "Forgot Password" feature, it sent an email to my closed yahoo account. So, I literally stopped trying to log into this website. One day, when I was reading some other blogs, I saw a note saying that we must now use Google account information to log into blogger.com... I was excited and thought I could login with my gmail account and tried... and I successfully did. But, unfortunately blogger.com allowed me to create a new blog but did not allow me to edit the old one. I was hell bent to get my account information and thought about all the ways to get my account information, and I re-tried logging into my yahoo account (the account that was closed), I got a message saying that the email account is invalid and showed me options to register as a new email account. I thought it was cool and registered the mail id. I then used the "Forgot Password" in blogger.com to send me the log in details of my vudathus blog account which they did... and hence big thanks to both Google and Yahoo.
