My page seems to be up & running properly now, although I haven't actually put anything into it yet. The edress for this is in my profile, and I'll try to turn it into a proper link tomorrow. I have listed Sarah as a friend: Does anybody else amongst you wish to be placed in this category?

I would like to be please, Simon, if that's OK with you?

"ptolemy" will find me on there as well. I have a humble page of my own (set up initially purely to be able to chat to my friend Sarah, but rather taking on a life of its own since) - I'll link you up to it just as soon as I get a moment.

Well, you can befriend me, for I am sloopjonb, but there's not a lot of point if you aren't going to write in it, cos I don't write in mine (I have a LiveJournal, under the same name).

I didn't know you had a Blurty, Alison - would you like adding to mine too?

Ere, it say there is no Splat21. Are you pseudonymous?

Me, please, as pickwick. Though there's not much on mine.

I'm up to my limit of 10 friends, and would think about buying the upgraded version, but i can't find any helpful links telling me how... anyone know?

Jon: Pseudonymous? At my age? Certainly not, especially if it's infectious! The very idea!

Oh all right then: think I've been registered as Splat21 for a couple of years but only wandered back in a couple of months back. Spose I might be down as AlisonS but I don't think so.

You need to click on Support, go to the FAQ page, and you'll find it in the first section - it's a question dealing with types of Blurty accounts. They are updating this question pretty regularly. I know the paid accounts aren't available yet, but will be soon.

Umm, sorry, Alison, we posted simultaneously and my answer was actually to Dante! I'm not sure I know how you can find out who you are... errrr... I mean, retrieve a forgotten nickname. However, if it isn't in the FAQs you can always post a support request (you'll find it under "Ask A Question" in the Support area). The powers that be at Blurty can certainly track down your nickname from your e-mail address.

That's the page i found, that said paid accounts weren't available. Does that mean there's no way of getting over 10 friends unless you were an early signer-upper? That seems a bit pants...

No, they're bringing in the paid accounts, but nobody knows when yet. There does seem to be quite a lot of demand for them, though, so hopefully it should be sooner rather than later.

I'm Sarah74656 but I don't post much. Hopefully that'll change when I get some time to myself....

I'm on there as dakegra, but use LiveJournal for my actual posts - blurty account is just so I can go on friends' lists...

Ptolemy, Jon, Dante, Sarah B, MissPrint, Dave: You have now been added to my list.

Jon, Dave: I AM going to write in my journal sometimes, although not on a regular basis & probably not very often.

Alison: I tried adding you to the list as AlisonS, but the system didn't recognise that as a current username either.
