How to Delete a Government Gateway ID

As described earlier, here are the instructions from HMRC on how to delete a Government Gateway ID (GG ID), should you choose to do so.

1. Login to your account with the GG ID you wish to delete. You'll need your GG user ID and password.

This will also require access to your second factor authorisation device.

2. Once logged on, select the ‘Manage account’ option at the top of your homepage.

3. On the next page choose the ‘View or change your business tax account details’ link under the ‘Account details’ heading.

4. On the following page select the ‘Manage your Government Gateway details’ link at the right-hand side of the page.

5. On the page after, choose the ‘Your Government Gateway profile’ option under the 'Your profile and settings' heading at the right of the page.

6. Finally, on the next page choose the ‘Delete my Government Gateway user ID’ option at the bottom of the page.

7. Confirm that you want to delete your user ID by selecting that option and clicking on the green ‘Confirm’ button.

P.S. These aren't quite the actual instructions I received from HMRC, I had to add step 5.

How-to: Setting up a Blogger account with a non-Google e-mail address

As I've set up an e-mail address for the blog it makes sense to be able to post from it too. To do that I will need to set up an account with Blogger for the new e-mail address. At the same time I'll create a gmail account to both manage the blog and give access to the Google apps suite without the monthly fee. Skullcinema@gmail.com is already taken (as there is nothing new under the sun), but I can take a related e-mail address. I won't publish it here as the first address will generate enough spam as it is. Setting up a gmail account really doesn't require a guide, but it is covered here if you need one. So, off to set up an account through Blogger . First of all though, log out of Google and/or Chrome or it will pull you straight through to Blogger on the account you are logged in on. Choose SIGN IN in the top right-hand corner of the Blogger home page, and then select Use another account underneath the list of your current Google accounts. Now

How-to: Adding another author to a Blogger blog

The final step in the process of reworking the blog is to invite the new account to become an author. Open the blog using the managing Google/Blogger account and select the Settings tab from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen. Then scroll down to find Invite more authors in the Permissions section and enter the e-mail address of the person you want to join the blog into the dialog box that pops up, in our case blog@skullcinema.com, and hit SEND . Blogger will then send out an invite link by e-mail. Now log out of the original account and back into the new account, this stops Google from automatically switching the invitation to your currently open Google account (yes, the one you just sent it from). Go to your e-mail in-box (or extract it from your junk mail box) and follow the Accept invitation link, which will pop up a new tab back in your browser with another Accept invitation link. Clicking this will add you to the blog author list and open up a cut-d

Alexander Aircraft Company

And here we are at the Alexander Aircraft Company , a start-class rated article about a defunct aeronautical engineering company from the USA in the 1920's. As this is a subject with more interest to me I spent a little longer than usual on this article, giving it a top-to-tail polish. Starting with the lead paragraph , which consisted of a grand total of twelve words on arrival, I expanded it, if only by a bit, so at least there are now two sentences. The associated book citation was limited so this was expanded as well. Founding and Disaster subsections received a heavy dose of wiki-linking and the single reference provided across both subsections was dead, requiring a trip to The Wayback Machine to search for the given URL. The Wayback Machine is part of The Internet Archive , which is a not-for-profit set up back in the early days of the web to archive the nascent internet, as it was recognised that the content was not anywhere near as permanent as the previous forms of
