Maya’s Mom doesn’t like me. Booo.

Anybody on Maya’s Mom? I meant to join up forever ago, but I’m lame, and didn’t sign up until around the 4th of July or so, this year. I like it! I’ve been enjoying poking around on the site. Unfortunately, I forgot my login and need to get my password reset. I’ve tried to do this on the site a bunch of times, and it just…doesn’t work? It never emails me a new password (yes, yes, I’ve checked my spam folder) and I can’t get anyone to respond when I submit a help request on the site.

I’m about ready to just create a whole new account, except – I already like the one I have! My RSS feeds come in perfectly, I’ve made a few friends, I’ve put my picture on there…I don’t want to go through all that again.

Anybody else have “problems” like mine?

I feel so unloved.

Did you know that this blog used to have a Google Pagerank of 5? Yes. A five, people! Then, after the famous Google “Rank Spank” it dropped to a 4. I was very happy with my four. Some of the biggest, most badass blogs out there are a 4. It’s good to be a 4!

And then, I decided to separate my blog from my family URL, where it lived in a little subdirectory. I wanted an easy URL to remember. Brand recognition and all that. And I did everything the internets told me to do – I had a permanent redirect in place, and I crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best. Well, the best did not happen. My pagerank did NOT transfer over, even though my blog is exactly the same as it was before – same fabulous, witty content, same awesome, good looking blog author. ;-)

Google just updated pagerank, and my blog is now at a ZERO.

Le sigh.

Oddly, my review blog only dropped from a 3 to a 2, even though its URL changed as well. I can only assume Google did its update last week while I was in the middle of fixing a corrupted database and a wonky redirect. That’s some fucked up timing right there, I think.

Oh well. What are ya gonna do?
