Blog Changes

Dear Friends,
What a whirlwind the last few days has been! You may have noticed that Deborahjeansdandelionhouse.com
 hasn't been operational for a few days. Well, here's the scoop! My domain name expired due to my credit card info needing to be updated. I believe it has been purchased or hacked. Right now, my choices are: I can pay GoDaddy for 69.00 to negotiate a  buy -back  for me or blog from a FREE blogspot address. I've switched to blogspot for now to keep things running smoothly while I continue working on the problem.

Here is a copy of an email I received a week ago. I'm not sure if it's related to my issue or not!?

Dear Manager:

This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally in China and Asia.
On July 11th 2011, We received Tianhua Ltd's application that they are registering the name " deborahjeansdandelionhouse " as their Internet Keyword and " deborahjeansdandelionhouse .cn "、" deborahjeansdandelionhouse .com.cn " 、" deborahjeansdandelionhouse .asia "domain names etc.., It is China and ASIA domain names. But after auditing we found the brand name been used by your company. As the domain name registrar in China, it is our duty to notice you, so I am sending you this Email to check. According to the principle in China, your company is the owner of the trademark, In our auditing time we can keep the domain names safe for you firstly, but our audit period is limited, if you object the third party application these domain names and need to protect the brand in china and Asia by yourself, please let the responsible officer contact us as soon as possible. Thank you!

Best regards,

John

If you are not appropriate person, please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. Thanks.

If you blog from a custom domain, make sure your payment info is updated annually! Go in to your payment history on your my account page and update your credit card info if you've gotten a new card. If you are using the same card but have been issued a new one with a new expiration date be sure to update it. This is what happened to me before I knew it my blog was missing!
 Go Daddy  said they do contact people when their account is about to expire, but I had checked the don't send me updates box when I registered with them so I didn't receive a notification. Oh well, shoulda, coulda, woulda right? That  little boo boo left my domain name up for grabs! And someone grabbed it!

A special thanks to Pat of Corninmycoffee pot and Faith of Crochet by the Sea and anyone else I may not know of yet for spreading the word! I so appreciate you all!
