Hi Lindens and those who maintain the wordpress thing!

1. The signup process is a pain, as you have been told before. No space character allowed, not even an underscore to keep at least a little resemblence to my in-world name (and as opposed to others I *really* like my in-world name). I finally gave in and chose "ZiRee" as username, but now I show up as "ziree", which is *not* what I wanted.

2. Is there any way to change the password I was given to sign in? "Edit Profile" only gives me the option to create my own blog, which is not what I expect as a "profile". I don't want a blog, I want to change my password.

3. Finally, I tried to post a comment to one of the blog entries, but it didn't show up on the blog, even after waiting for half an hour, still no trace of the comment. I tried again, until now, still nothing. I posted the same comment again and got a very "strange" message box, telling me I made a duplicate post, and "seemed to have said that before". Well, true, but nobody else will ever see it, as it seems ;)

Edit: By now, the entries have appeared, thanks. So I'll take back point 3 ;)

So please. Lindens,. you wanted the blog, so make it usable for us. In the present state it's nothing but a crutch, not in the least matching up with what we had before, a full-fledged forum. You can out-source a blog, why can't you out-source a forum?

(Just checked again, only to be sure, still no comment by me ...)
