As many of you may have noticed, theNetFool.com was actually UNREGISTERED for more than 24 hours! I wanted to thank those of you who came to me and let me know this right away, as you may have saved the blog’s existence altogether.
As it turns out, my registrar was sending “domain name expiration” notices to an old email account of mine that I had completely forgotten about (heck, who uses Yahoo Mail anymore anyways? 
) and my domain name expired on October 11th because I didn’t notice! Luckily for me, it seems that Name Cheap, the guys I work with, have a holding policy and I was able to smooth talk my way into extending the term of my registration out another year without any penalties.
Site Owners: Make sure that your emails are current! EVERYWHERE!
The lesson really isn’t to make sure your domain names expire, because any registrar will send you updates up to wazoo… my problem wasn’t that I wasn’t getting the alerts, but that I wasn’t “getting” the alerts.
At the very least, it was definitely a wake up call for me as to how much I really didn’t want to let this thing go… so I’ll be posting more often from here on out. I have a few plans in the mix, but I will round out the longest 30-day blog building challenge in the history of mankind first and foremost. Stay bullish on the net!
