Login with two different accounts
The current log-in method is to log-in to FC2ID first, then go to FC2 Blog through FC2ID. Before FC2ID and FC2 Blog merged (before 12/2006), users could log-in from FC2 Blog directly.
Therefore, if you only have an FC2 Blog account, you will have to sign up for a FC2ID to merge accounts. After merging, you can use other FC2 services as well.
Let's put it this way, FC2ID is your main account for you to manage other FC2 services' accounts. It is easier this way, for users to manage multiple accounts at once.
