Blog access

    TT explained: The blog owner set it to Private. You can’t access the old blog until the owner changes those settings. I have no doubt he/she knows you want in.

    Just to confirm the above:

    Nothing is broken or wrong. The owner of that blog has chosen to make it private. That’s the owner’s decision, and it will stay that way unless and until he or she decides to make it public again.

    OK, excuse my ignorance but why would anybody make some blog private ? Financial gain… what ? That particular blog was just a open exchange of unemployment information. Isn’t the whole point of a blog to exchange of information and tell stories ? Is there a way to contact the owner to figure it out ? I/we have tried to log in to no avail. Again, please excuse this non blog geek for asking.

    @xdingo123 I can only guess, but I don’t expect there’s a financial motivation. Perhaps the owner simply wanted to remove it from public view for personal reasons. That’s not uncommon.

    Thanks tellyworth. It is not the first blog that I’ve seen die. It is such a shame because Discotrash did hundreds a HUGE favor for starting that blog. I hope she realizes that many owe her much gratitude. Oh well… like I posted… another great site for unemployment information is. http://unemployed-friends.forumotion.com/california-f8/

    A lot of people get tired of being responsible for other people’s searches and so on. Or maybe they’re giving it a makeover in private, or migrating it elsewhere. Could be plenty of reasons; a good, busy blog is a lot of work!

    One reason to change a blog to private could well be family problems or illness. No one here knows if this person has been in an accident, is sick or having a baby. As already mentioned…. there are hundreds of reasons why you would change a blog to private, even if only temporarily.

    Hi everyone. I’m happy to find this thread. I,too, was one of the many people who followed the California Unemployment Extension blog for a long time. Was shocked to find it to be no longer available to the public.

    Registered here and have been flailing around trying to locate that blog. Got scolded already just trying to ask for help with this WordPress site and how to find that blog. Sigh.

    Will try the unemployed friends site, but find they are not accepting any new registrations.

    worriedinlosangeles: Look for the Discotrash thread in the CA forum. I don’t know about the registration thing but were over there. I had a hell of a time to find this place so keep it bookmarked just in case there updates. Later.
