HELLO - AN EXPLANATION

Hi Friends,

I have had a blog on blogger for the past five years and had many loyal followers and made many friends.

A month ago, I had an issue with Goggle about renewing my domain name.  They wanted everyone to auto renew, which was not a problem for me, but I was unable to access what they were telling you to do to do that!  I began a dialog with them on
how I could pay the $10 fee three weeks before the deadline for my blog renewal.
Long story short many emails and a lot of frustration and they finally emailed me
on August 6th that they had set the auto renew for me and all was well.  On Saturday, August 9th I woke up to no blog.  It has been two weeks since my blog just disappeared.  And I am still waiting for them to initiate a buy back of the domain name and recover my blog.  What a mess.

I finally set up this blogspot so I could blog my design team cards.  Please know I had no way to let you know what happened to me once they took my blog down.

Hopefully, 5 years of blogging will be restored one day soon, if not I will have to start from scratch.

  1. Oh my gosh. I wondered what happened to you. I clicked on your name on my sidebar and it always took me to an advertisement spot. So glad to see your explanation. I am sorry you are having so many issues. Is that going to happen to all of us with blogs?

    Sue, I lost my Momma 2 weeks ago. I am a bit lost right now, but getting better. She would kick my you-know-what if I didn't.

  8. I was wondering where you took off to sweetie!! I understand what you are saying! The domain thing is no longer an available option (That I can see in my account anyway & neither is the friend connect thingy!) and after I had one blog, moved to a domain and then deleted it, there was NO WAY it was coming back...because I did TRY and get everything back...so I said, that's fine! I will just start from scratch. It's a bit frustrating for sure. I had thought about going to Wordpress, but didn't because so many people are on blogger. It is what it is and just know that if you let people know where you are at, they will certainly follow along with you...you are so talented! BIG HUGS

  9. Goodness Sue, what a pain for you! Hope it all gets sorted out. Thanks for visiting me & letting me know what is going on. I had a very busy few weeks making everything for the fair but it was lots of fun! Some of the things were already made which helped but most were done in a mad flurry!
    Hugs, Renee
