So, I blog. I blog because I care, and because I want you to care. However, it seems that in it's infinite knowledge of life, the universe, and everything, Google, Supreme God of the Interwebs, has decided to make my life quite difficult.
Therefore, Sparks of Brilliance and Flashes of Insanity (the blog you're reading RIGHT NOW) may be moving in the near future, from one Google Account to another. So, how did I end up with multiple accounts and chaos everywhere? Well, I'll tell you.
See...once upon a time, there was this girl named S, and she wanted to share all of her adventures with the world, good and bad. So she created a blog, and used an e-mail address s******@*****.***.***, and all was well.
About a year later, S was tired of having multiple e-mail accounts- the one she had from high school (which was used primarily for Face-y Spaces) and her college e-mail (which was proving to be more and more glitchy each time the technology gurus decided to "improve" it) were simply too much for one girl to handle. So, she went back to the Google and requested a solution. The solution to her problems, the answers to her interweb prayers was to create a g-mail account- a magical place where all of her e-mails could be sent without having to go to everything and everyone and explain that consolidations had to be made (S's extended family did not prove to be really "up" with internets in general, so explaining a new e-mail to them would be difficult...she's sure her "pandasarecute2000@yahoo.com" account from 5th grade STILL gets messages from S's grandmother).
So this was done and S was happy...for a time. Until she tried to log back in to her blog. Because she had a g-mail account, blogger welcomed her not as her normal "TheRoamin'Catholic" profile, but as a new, unfamiliar profile. S was confused, but tried to work through it. She tried to change basically every setting she could find, only to discover that Google, in its infinite wisdom of the interwebs, did not allow such combination of accounts or any sort of account-to-account transfers.
This isn't such a big problem, but as S saw it, she is in the exact same multiple-accounts situation she was in before creating her new g-mail account, and she rolled her eyes accordingly.
So what is S to do? Okay, so in reality, she could just deal with it because hey, S is a smart and sassy 20-year-old geek-chic gal and signing out/signing in shouldn't be beyond her, but she is also wildly impatient and finds it quite annoying that she has to log out of her g-mail just to log back in to her blog, when she knows there is a better way. Which brings us up to date with the present- Sparks of Brilliance is moving. I'll keep you all posted when the domain name changes (if it does, we'll see....it might be salvagable).
Anyways, that is all for now!

Actually I was having that same problem, but managed to fix it. Call me and maybe I can show you how I did it.
