BLOGPATROL

Its almost a week now since my hard knocks in registering with BP(BlogPatrol). For those who are like me, whose computer knowledge is inadequate, BP is a free blog counter that provides transparency on your reader's activities. Statistics on how many readers you had in a day, mostly read topics, from what country are your visitors, what service provider are they using, blog referrers etc...

So far, the results are overwhelming and it inspires you to keep on writing. Though sometimes, it pressures you to maintain that stat. Good side would be, you'll make it a point to improve your site or give your best. Bad side is when you take off the fun and think of the numbers.

Anyways, back to my computer incompetence. The third time I logged-in on my first day with BP, I can't get through and this keeps on appearing "You have entered an invalid username or password."

I am very much sure though that I entered the right characters. This made me bug their BlogPatrol Support Group and they were very kind in helping me. We've been corresponding till I was able to log-in and that was after a lot of emails. It made me change my mind when I thought the world wide web are full of robots or programmed preset answers when you send your queries to such service providers. BlogPatrol actually ROCKS!

Here are some of their replies that made me say,

"With BP, Its like asking a friend to do you some favors":

Hi lovelyn,

1. Have you always had problems logging into BlogPatrol?

2. Are you using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser? Some users have reported problems logging into Internet Explorer.
