Sorry for the outage there, Grovers.  Seems we had a bit of a billing issue with our domain registrar and they pulled the plug.   I had set up the domain to auto renew…the only problem was the credit card used to renew it automatically had expired and I didn’t update the card info.  Oh, they sent me emails warning me it was coming due, it was due, it had expired, we pulled the plug, etc., but there again, it was an old email address they were sending it to…one I rarely, if ever check (rarely is the key word as they had been sending me emails for months!  Color me embarrassed!) This brings up an important issue to all of you who have websites out there, always…no, let me say that a little louder, ALWAYS!!! check your contact and billing information to make sure it is up to date.  Otherwise, like Willow’s Grove, your site will take a little nap…or worse, you will lose your domain all together as there are folks out there who like to swoop in and squat on domains that lapsed in renewal.

Stumble it!
