How many us are Blog*Spot refugees? A lot, I bet. Well, you might want to know that some slimy type folks are finding old Blog*Spot URL's that you and I have shut down and re-opening them to sell stuff. For example, my old blog was Eric's Random Musings, before JohnL of Texas Best Grok so graciously sponsored me into MuNuvia. Anyhow, now that I'm here, I discovered, after reading this post on The Mudville Gazette, that some weasel was using my old URL to sell ringtones to people.
If you recently moved from Blog*Spot and haven't yet shut down your blog there, I recommend you don't, so someone doesn't hijack your good name.
