I was intrigued by the blogs offered and I thought I might try my hand at it too. But when I attempt to log in one http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/ to participate, it gives me an error on the Select Character page.

Use of the Lodestone requires a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account with at least one character.
Please log-in again after you have created a character in-game.
The only option available is a large Log Out button directly below this message. I indeed have a character made, granted she is only level 6. What am I doing wrong?
