I recently tried to register on my blog as a test, and couldn’t get the password emailed to me. I also tried to register on a friends blog and the same result. I found that I had sed my GMail account to register, and google blocked it as SPAM. If you register and use a GMAIL account, you might want to check the spam folder in your spam folder on gmail webmail.

As many of you know, I also run a website called www.blog-hints.com. I have made a button available to link from your blog. Any help promoting this site would be great! There is a blog directory that is free and does not require recip links, as well as a discussion forums.

I built this blog-hints button for people to add to their blogs instead of a text link. I kinda’ like the button better. Let me know what you think!!!Here is the code:

Ohio Governor Bob Taft reached a political milestone this week, and not one he should be happy about. His job approval rating dipped to a sorry 15%. After years of tax hikes, a worsening state economy, and now a new scandal, Bob Taft has managed to convince his political base to abandon him. His approval rating is less than President Nixon’s was after his impeachment. I have to wonder if his political career is over, or will he simply land somewhere else.
