Closure . . .

Anyone following my blog will be familar with my troubles with google/blogger and how I couldn’t access my account there.

Well, i finally got a communication back from Google this morning, to say:

Hello,
Thanks for your report.
We have investigated this issue, but because the results were inconclusive, we’re not able to provide further assistance.
Gmail takes the privacy and security of our users very seriously. For this reason, we can’t reveal any further information about this account.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,

The Google Team

Well, I suppose if they”sincerely apologise” for the inconvenience, that makes it all okay. Anyway, this obviously means that I won’t be able to get access to the old blog again. This is a shame – I was hoping at some point to be let back in because there is a feature that allows you to import your archives from Blogger to WordPress. There’s a lot of neat stuff on the old blog, which I would like to have available here.

So, I’m going to start reposting some of the stuff that’s on the old blog. WordPress has a nice “tags” system which you can use to catagorise your posts and have them easlily accesible, grouped together under tags – see the headings in the column to the right. A lot of the work on the old blog was taken from my personal archives of journalism I’ve done and which I see no immediate liklihood of reselling. I would like to make this available, so apologies to anyone who has read it before, but over the next week or so, I will be moving stuff over.
