Google Gmail - how to recover old Gmail email account

Today is was trying to enter several my old Google Gmail account. I wrote those account's log in name, password and recovery email in a note book, just in case I forgot. I opened those old email in year 2008.

It was two years ago. Suddenly when I tried to enter into one of my old Gmail account, I cant log in. The password is correct. Gmail ask me to fill in CAPTCHA-like letters on the screen.

I typed the letters correctly but my old Gmail account refuse to let me in to the inbox. I wonder what happened to my old Gmail?

Nothing important in those account but looks like this is how Gmail treat SPAM-like inactive email accounts. Gmail will ask you to fill in weird letters to prove you are human.

Yahoo Mail automatically freeze down inactive email address each the owner fail to sign in more than 3 months. I knew because Yahoo Mail tells that during re-sign in process.

How to recover old Gmail email account

Cant remember your password? Gmail can help you log in to your inbox without a need to create new email. Here's how.

Gmail will reset your password and send the recovery code (or recovery password) to your recovery email, you need to click the URL given in the email or to type the new password in Gmail log in page. When you have successfully logged in, please change your Gmail password to a password you can remember always.

The second way is by answering question. Remember during the registration process, Gmail ask you to select any of security questions just to verify it is truly you who try to logging in. These question usually related with your personality, childhood or your background. If you can answer this question successfully, Gmail will let you in.

Please log in to your Gmail regularly to make sure it is still active, at least once within 3 months time. If not, sign in process will be difficult. You will have to make a new email address using Gmail. Your old Gmail address will be left behind just like that.

Tumblr blog is beautiful

Google Blogger and Tumblr is beautiful to me, but if beauty is the factor, I will choose Tumblr, it allows high resolution pictures to be inserted into on your article, click to enlarge, click back to make image smaller and it does not slows down page loading. If you love to write short and simple post, then Tumblr is highly suitable for you. At Tumblr front page, insert your email address, choose a password, choose a name to become your blog's domain then start to think what you first post will be! Tumblr blogs Its easy, sleek with glossy look and  very convenient for non-techie blog user. Tumblr is close competitor to Google Blogger besides Wordpress.com.

Google Sites - Google web page maker [part 2]

You need to choose a name for your Site.

You site will be using Google Site's domain name and it will stay there as long as you leave it active. The name you have choosed is fixed as the site's name, because it will be embedded within the url that bring visitors into your site. Choose a name wisely, make it catchy, easy to remember.

Next step, you need to choose a theme. This is a background image for your Google Site.

The theme provides background color and feels to web pages in your Google Site. There is 52 themes made ready for you.

After that you need to insert your site description.

Please tell the visitor what your site is all about. Was it about cars? Girl things? about Football? Music? Events? About Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift? or simply about cooking recipes you love to share?

You need to do visibility setting, with whom you want to share your Site's content with. If you use Google Site to develop a place where you and some people (not all people) can communicate online, please choose an option tagged with 'Only people I specify can view this site'.

Finally, you need to insert the text code showed into the box, as seen in the image above. It works like CAPTCHA to prevent scripts and web bots from generating Google Sites automatically without control, also to prove you are human.

When the letters you've inserted in the text is fully correct and verified by Google Sites, you can click the blue 'Create site' button. If you still not sure what you do and want to have several minutes thinking about it, you can click Cancel. But why click Cancel when all are ready to finish up?

When your site is finally live, your work here is done.

What to do next? Thinking about site's content!

Google Sites - google web page maker [part 1]

You are the newbie to website building works, you're thinking about building your own website via your own ideas, but you have no skills, no necessary knowledges and NO MONEY.

Worry no more!. Here's a tip to help you out.

You can learn how to build up a website, set it up, inserting website content, choosing the design and promoting it (to earn some money, if you would love to) using the free web page maker called Google Site, made by Google.

Google Sites originally known as Google Pages, a free web application where anyone can build webpages based on templates given by Google. However, we templates given in Google Pages were limited, so Pages was substituted with Google Sites officially.

To start using Google Sites, you need to have your own Google ID at first. A Google ID is your Gmail login name, short to say a Google ID was actually your Gmail address.

My Google ID is 'lia.nadia'qistina@gmail.com'. I used that ID everytime i logged into Google Sites.

Google Sites prepares 5 basic templates for you to choose from, so pick which one suits you most. If you want to build a website to sell products such as an eBook, you can choose 'Blank Template' so you can design the page later on right from scratch using your own ideas. If you want to build a website for you soccer team, choose 'Soccer Team' template.

Google Sites gives you hundreds of free templates ot use, if the 5 basic templates still dont satisty you, you can pick up any template you feel good by clicking to the gallery. There's so many of them!

Click on the link named with 'Browse the gallery for more' to choose hundred varieties of website templates made ready by Google Sites. You will become like a kid in candy store!

Here's the screen shot for you to see what template gallery looks like...

Luckily for Indonesian user, they can build up Google Sites in Bahasa Indonesia. Sadly for Malaysian, no option for Malay user to build up web page in Bahasa Malaysia.
