Give us time and we will learn.
These words certainly apply to me. I have learnt to ignore the bad and support the good while blogging.
Long ago I came to the conclusion that the few bad aspects in no way involve blog posts, but only the 'trimmings' that we can actually avoid.
When closing here I never click 'EXIT' but instead click 'X' at the top right of the screen. When I return via 'My Favourites' I come straight to my blogging section, always missing out the home page. A great time saver.
Possibly there are others who do much the same.

Haven't tried that yet.
My idea: go to BCUK's homepage once, click on the My Blog tab and then you will get a new screen asking for your logon. I've saved this particular page in my favourites / bookmarks. So when I click on this favourite, I get the logon screen immediately and will then be taken straight to "My Blog" instead of the BCUK's homepage.
Alternative: Open your own blog page when NOT logged on. Click on the "Sign in" (or "Log in", can't remember what it's called) link at the top right, and save the following screen (where you actually have to log on) as your favourite / bookmark. When you click on this favourite and log in, you will be taken directly to your blog.
