So I wanted to add a new post to my Google blog (this one) after a longish break. It turned out I could not. At least, not easily. I was doing this on my new laptop and, unlike on my previous one, I had also used my work Gmail account here. This, unexpectedly, complicated things. I could not sign into the Blogger even when I was signed out of my work Gmail account. Weird but true.
It turns out, that Google gets confused by the two accounts if they are used in the same browser. You are on your Blogger page and click on Sign in. It shows you both of your Google logins. You choose your private one, because that one is associated with your blog. Then you are told that you cannot log into the Admin console with your ordinary Gmail.
What!!

Happy ending
- Sign out of all your Google accounts. Well, I did that to be on a safe side
- Use another browser (I encountered the problem in Firefox, so I used Chrome)
- Sign into Google+ using your private Gmail
- Voila! Going to my blog page showed I was already logged in. And - I was logged in when I visited my blog in Firefox too.
