Well, after the Slashdot post on Gmail accounts being given to "active" Blogger users I rushed right over. I had been using Blogger but recently switched to using Blog and publishing to my AT&T web space. More control that way...so I figured I was out of luck because I had deleted the blog on Blogger. The main account was still there so I quick put up a silly little blog.

Someone on /. then suggested that it was random as to who got the Gmail invite. So I kept logging in and out of Blogger. Eventually I did get the invite so now I'm toying with Gmail. I think it is less random and "active" is defined by the number of posts to you blog and how many times you have logged into Blogger.

I'm experimenting with a second Blogger account now. Updates if successful with a second Gmail account.

Hey a long overdue comment that I got my first front page Slashdot article.
