Android multiple account confusion

Tonight, I was using my Android device to place public announcements at different locations through Google Maps and Buzz. One of the features of Android is the ability to switch between/amongst Google accounts. There was an error in posting. I logged in as RGV Life, but it posted as SMCRGV.

After noticing the error the first time, I changed the account to another and then back. A second post still displayed as SMCRGV.

Which account I use isn't critical, they are PSAs of sorts; but I can see this being a problem for somebody some day. You may consider test posts before posting meaningful content if you use multiple accounts on your Android device.

Blogger blocks excessive posting

A while ago, I tried uploading a blog post via Android App. The upload kept failing. Not to be deterred, I deleted the app and reinstalled, to find no better success. I thought that perhaps I could email the post to Blogger. That did not work either. The email bounced back with the following: Technical details of permanent failure: You have exceeded the the allowable number of posts without solving a captcha. This happened because I imported quite a few blog posts from another blog I discontinued just yesterday. It has been less than 24 hours since the import. It makes sense. I'm rather certain the captcha speedbump is also why the mobile app refused to publish my posts. The problem can be circumvented if you post directly on the Blogger site and solve the captcha. This problem will likely resolve in the next few hours and all will be right with the universe once more.
