If you have a Gmail address you can use the same email address to sign-up for multiple wordpress blogs. (If you do this, you don't have to update the "My Account" section later.) This is possible because Gmail does not recognize "dots" in your email address.

E.g. [email redacted] = [email redacted] = [email redacted] = etc.

Emails sent to all the above addresses will be sent to 1 inbox.

You can get the same email address but just an an - or an _. I had to get nosy_snoop@yahoo because someone had THE NERVE to already have nosysnoop@yahoo. :)

So you mean, everyone?

Nah, some of us spend our days watching all the pretty coeds walk by. :)

Probably the same people who are downloading free MP3s and porn off the net.

People do seem a bit testy on public forums, these days. "I want it and I want it now!"

Thankfully I was able to skate around the problem much better than those folks skated last night. ;) And I'm up and running ok.

I like WordPress and I'm glad I found it. Yes, there are some issues, as there always will be. But I hardly think the price of admission at any price grants a ticket to be rude to any extent. Especially when it's free!

Thanks again,
Marc

There appears to be a problem with outright deletion of an entire account (tied to that email address). Can't say I wasn't warned when I set it up though. :)

Thank you for being so observant, so few are it makes you the exception rather than the rule.

Yep, sorry. If you delete your account you can't register again with the same email address.

From reading some other posts, I'm getting the icky feeling I'm stuck. There appears to be a problem with outright deletion of an entire account (tied to that email address). Can't say I wasn't warned when I set it up though. :)

Great blogsite, folks! I got my blog address last night. This is great. Only problem is, I would like to start over with the same email address I used. Can you delete my account as it now is, so I can go back and do it the way I should have in the first place?

Thanks so much, guys! Marc
