How to log in

I’m going to keep this at the top for a day or two, until everything settles down. Please scroll down for new posts.
My apologies again for the log-in process, and if it’s too difficult, I may just abandon it. (Since it seems to be working now, and it’s keeping away the spam, I might not be abandoning it anytime soon.) For now, though, this is how I believe it works:
1. Click: “Comment”
2. Look for “Leave a Reply - You must be logged in to post a comment.”
3. Although it’s hard to see on the comment page (although easy enough to see here), “logged in” is a hyperlink.
4. Clink on that hyperlink (and you can try clicking on the above hyperlink too).
5. You’ll now be at a WordPress log-in window.
6. If you have a WordPress account, you simply log in with that.
6. UPDATE: Hi, site admin here, I apologize for the confusion. Unfortunately Wordpress.com accounts do not translate to the new site because Wordpress doesn’t give other hosts access to their accounts.
All users will have to do a new one time registration here in order to participate in the discussion. From there on out you can simply log in as usual.
All users must do this one time registration. You can access it directly with this link here: Register for Bookworm Room.
Please make sure you use a valid e-mail address when you register. This will give you the ability to recover lost passwords yourself in the event you lose track of it.
Also, please feel free to contact me at any time if you run into difficulties. I want to make this process as easy as possible so you can enjoy BookWorm’s New Room without any problem. Thanks, Trip.
Good luck! We can win this battle.

Go ahead. Admit it. You are out to get me.
Okay. You got me. This is totally personal!
I KNEW it!
Congrats on the new digs, Bookworm. Will update my link to you.
Okay I registered. I also updated my blogroll. And I have a pork chop cooking … wait! That’s not important. Right?
Heheheee!
Y’all are great. Thank you so much.
Blogroll updated, new blog information noted! Love the new look!
Wait a minute…………I’m not on your blogroll anymore! I feel so……..so………so……….ALONE!

Ah, yes! The blogroll. Somehow it temporarily got lost when Trip transferred me from my old site to this new one. It shall be restored, in all its former glory, with all my blogfriends in their rightful place. Give it a day or two (that’s my guess).

How glorious can a blogroll be if it includes my incredibly obscure blog!?
How obscure is my blog? Even some of my family members don’t know about it! And the ones that do aren’t interested!

BHG — ah, the freedom of anonymity and obscurity. In theory, you can say whatever the heck you want, because no one knows and no one cares!
Book,
Great looking new Room…
But so far, yours is the only Blog that requires cookies… Are you tracking me?? Are you working for the Clinton Machine? Are you an undercover Obama-runner?
I am notified of your postings through Bloglines — and all your past posts have been easy to read.. But, due to the fact that being 3/4 blind, I must enlarge the screen considerably to read it, can Trip give a suggestion that would allow all text to be displayed on-screen in Bloglines instead of having to scroll another page to the right. (At least it is not to the Left)! I know I’m picky so I’m just asking.
Great progress… and keep up your great thinking with the eloquent expression of those thoughts. It becomes you..
In Christ,
ExP(Jack)
And you don’t get much more obscure or anonymous than me!

You also kind of sort of need to use a valid email address because that is where they will send you your random generated passcode.

It is sort of like back in the Stone Age or the Ancient Times. You go to a strange new city and nobody knows you. You thus don’t get the benefits and perks of your social status in your home city, but you also don’t get the disadvantages and prejudices either.
People like the internet because they don’t have to live under a huge oppressive environment with social security numbers and ID tagging them everywhere, with everybody that knows them and creates social obligations to.
I don’t know how the aristocrats kept track of hundreds of names, families, personality quirks, and not get tired of it all.
Interesting point. When I embarked on my junior year abroad, I was the shy bookworm, the wallflower — because that’s how everyone knew me, even though I no longer saw myself that way. In England, I was who I said I was: someone who loved dancing all night long and going out with friends. It was quite liberating. I guess the anonymity of my blog is sort of the same. I can create myself as I see myself, rather than as others are wont to see me.
Everyone has the power to change and remake themselves into who they want to be. An individual may not have enough power to succede, but they have enough to try. And there is no success without first making the attempt, making an investment in the belief that you can succede.
And that’s what people lack. Belief.
Because human beings are social creatures, rather than anti-social loners genetically or fundamentally, what we believe in is affected unduly by what others believe about us.
It is very hard to believe in yourself and in what you seek to accomplish, when everyone around you is trying to pull you down. When they say and act with the belief that you will fail because they believe you will fail. This applies the same to whatever they believe about you. Positive or negative. The belief about Vietnam and child killers in the US military is a great example of this phenomenon.
When you start new, when you are around new people, it is almost like a second chance. Just as Iraq is America’s second chance at redemption.
Also additionally, psychological behavior studies show that habits are power stuff. When you get into a certain habit with people, it sticks. On the internet, new habits are required so you aren’t shackled down by your previous actions. So polite people in social situations can become insane and venomous on the internet. And vice a versa, crazy people or annoying people in real life may start sounding reasonable like Noam Chomsky.
I’m trying to leave a test comment. This about nothing. If it works, I have no opinion. If not, I’m against it. LOL
“If it works, I have no opinion. If not, I’m against it.”
HelenL,
You are a true Lib! Many, if not most, on this site are ex-Libs. Your quote works equally well on “the surge” and on “the tax cuts for the rich.”
