Why I changed my blog’s name to Cyber-comfort (http://cyber-comfort.blogspot.com):
Cyber-comfort is a feeling of ease in the online world of computer networks; Cyber-phobe Diaries could deter you from taking the journey.
My U-turn was influenced by an Amazon Associates technician. To solve a problem I was having logging into my Associates account (which she did quickly), she viewed my blog, Cyber-phobe Diaries, and pointed out a black eye of an inconsistency.
How likely is it that a real cyberphobe (a person afraid of using computers and the Internet) would surf, let alone find a blog called Cyberphobe Diaries, let alone buy products advertised on the Internet with their credit cards, let alone with Pay Pal? With the Amazon banner, I’m trying to encourage Internet-leery visitors to order late model Apple computers, Canon 20D digital cameras, and other relatively advanced tech equipment.
She suggested a concept more consistent with helping to ease a visitor’s journey through cyber-space, a site where they could read about books like the Internet for Dummies series, user-friendly e-tools, and ecommerce resources helpful to me and to others I know.
On Cyber-comfort, I will try to ease your journey through cyberspace, rather than scare the wits out of you.
Re Amazon and me: my customer account and Amazon Associates account were booked as one. If, after exploring the Amazon Associates program, you decide to participate with a banner on your site, start an Associate’s account that is separate from your customer’s.
When I changed my email address to btrot60@gmail.com, I had to close my customer account and open a new one. Because my Associates account was booked in conjunction with my customer’s account, my Associates account was automatically closed too, but not automatically re-opened. While I talked with the tech, she opened a separate Associates account for me, where I now log on with a new password. From now on, what affects one account will not affect the other.
To reach tech support for your Amazon Associate’s account, call 701-787-9740 (Pacific Time). This department does not have a toll-free number.
