Grrr I should be able to block again tonight and start thinking of new solutions

Pay for gold account, get blog. Someone can have my blog, I don't use it.
 
You can't just open up blogs to people who have at least a certain number of posts? Yeah it'll keep people from joining and starting up a blog right away but if they're going to be around long enough for a blog to make sense writing then they should build up a halfway decent post count anyway (doesn't need to be a huge number)

Any plans to work on this? Just looking for an update. Wanted to post on my blog today.

Thanks.
 
Thanks Greg for the quick response! It is working.
