There's no REPLY button under the BLOG request thread.

Are these still available? I would like one before we get charged for one or the tax system kicks in.

actually it's a direct link to the comment sof the blog. What you do is click on the blog title, once at the page, and it shoudl take you to the normal blog home page of that user.

I locked that thread.
If you had read the last reply to the blog request thread, you would have found the answer:

Unfortunately due to the server upgrade, we have to change the way we add blogs, this has something to do with the newer version of PHP that was installed on the server.
This might take anywhere from a couple of days, to several weeks

I did read it, damn it. Is there something wrong with putting myself on the waiting list?
