Favorite Floral Collage and the Domain Dilemma Continues!



This is one of my favorite collages. 
(click to enlarge)

A collection of just a few of the flower photos I've taken over the years.

That part of this post makes me smile.πŸ˜‚

🌷🌷🌷

Unfortunately, the second part doesn't.

And my apologies for yet another domain name related rant here. 

I am SO tired of this ongoing issue that I thought was finally getting settled this month. That hasn't happened.😣

When I checked for the 

myreallifereviews.com

domain name that I wanted to go back to this month, turns out some domain company has bought it up in the meantime. Now, it won't be available again for ANOTHER year!! 

To say I was surprised and mad when I found out about this is putting it mildly. 

So now I'm debating what to do. 
I really don't want to revert back to a blogspot  domain but I can't waste anymore time with all this. 

As it is, I will have lots of work changing links in my eBooks, sites, this blog...but I wouldn't have to put up with lousy domain providers like Namecheap anymore. The company that caused all these problems to begin with.

So, for now, 

myreallifereviews.xyz 

will work, but if and when I transition back to NO custom domain, I will be blogging at,

myreallifereviews.blogspot.com

What I've learned from this experience and the advice I can pass on.... choose a domain provider VERY carefully (read lots of recent reviews at several different sites)and check their BBB rating. 

And most of all, stay away from 

NAMECHEAP

The domain provider that has caused me all these problems and wasted HOURS and hours of my time. 

Buyer beware!!

  3. Oh how I love your collage...so bright and beautiful and ideal for spring!!😊😊

    So sorry to hear about your ongoing problems...it must be SO frustrating 😫
    I had hoped they would have been resolved by now.
    Why oh why to these providers have to make things so difficult?
    It is awful...and I do so feel for you.
    Thank you for the warning though...I will pass it on...

    Apart from that, do hope you're having a good day!

    Big hugs xoxoxo

    1. Thanks for your kind words Ygraine.😊

      If Namecheap hadn't "dropped the ball" so badly (as explained in that other post) I would never have had all this hassle, time wasted, stats taking a nosedive....yes, do pass this along. I wouldn't wish that domain provider company on anyone!!!😣

  4. Good luck finding a new home! Thanks for posting the flowers. We are not seeing spring here yet. In fact, I am going to put on my Winter coat in a few to take some letters down to the mailbox.
