stupid domain expiration
I nearly lost my website. A customer emailed me saying that she couldn’t get to my website, so I double-checked to make sure it was still up. NOPE. The domain registration had expired but the company I used to register it didn’t send me any emails and I stupidly thought they would. Another company had sniped it, too. I was able to “reactivate” the domain, but the site isn’t up just yet. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it works and I don’t have to pay some guy $200 to get my site back.
This made me start thinking about my blog. I’ve wanted to perk it up and change the theme. That’s very limited with just the regular wordpress.com blogs. Now, with wordpress.org, there’s a lot of options. I have hosting space but I was afraid that if I moved the blog, it would be more hassle than it’s worth. I learned this week that I can set it up so that this blog still exists and the feed still exists and it just redirects everything. Thank you, wordpress! Now I feel like I should do more research and see if this is what I want.
I have another customer today and then it’s time to pack. We leave Sunday afternoon for a week. I’m planning on posting while we’re in SF, so look for very different posts (like pictures of shoe stores… hehehehe) and fun pics of zee TallBoy while we travel. He’s hilarious in airports, I swear. Looking forward to flying JetBlue for the first time, too!
