Skywatch Friday – Where My Mind Still Resides

Sunrise at Orange Beach

Just letting you know where my mind still is. My mind is still on the beach watching the sunrise, listening to the wind and the waves.

Skywatch Friday

Due to a Google mishap I’m no longer at yogis-den(dot)com. They are making it impossible to get it back so I’ve moved everything back over to the www.crustygasguy.blogspot.com while I ponder what to do, if anything. I like writing posts but I hate getting under the hood and trying to figure out the nuts and bolts when things go wrong. So I’m thinking I’m going to try a new domain name registrar and get a multiyear term. I would appreciate any recommendations on domain name registrars that easy to deal with.

I would also say beware to anybody out there who bought their domain name through Google even if you have auto renewal. A bunch of the renewals are failing, even with current payment information, and when it fails your domain name is gone and Google’s customer service isn’t up to the task of helping you get it back.

    Oh, what a friggin’ mess!!! I’ve had SO much trouble since I moved! It’s been one thing after another and a total collapse of everything cost me a sizeable amount to get everything cleaned up. I haven’t (my fingers are crossed) lost anything — YET!! But who knows. Hang in there!!

    This photo is fabulous! I’d be remembering, too. Don’t scare me! Will be interested to learn what you choose.

    I didn’t understand a word of what you wrote but, there again, I’m only on face book. PLEASE ensure you continue to amuse your readers – don’t get lost in this modern technology.
    Your photograph is gorgeous.

    beautiful image!

    I like domainit.com for my domains. I have used them for years for myself and clients. They’re good about hosting and supports, too.

    Wow! That is one beautiful sunrise.

    I remember when you went to your own domain name. I just use blogspot. The thing I like about it is it’s free. No matter what is under the hood I would sure miss your blog if it went away.

    Wow – that is a stunning shot!

    I was wondering what had happened to your Yogi’s Den site when I couldn’t find it…

    I can highly recommend WordPress! I use the free version – it’s simple and I’ve never had any problems with it.

    What a beautiful sunrise! No wonder your mind is still on the beach. When we lived down south and had little kids, we spent a week on Destin every summer, fun for all.

    I don’t blame you for still being on the beach. This sucks with your blog problems. I use Hostgator and WordPress, at a cost, but no problems so far.

    Wow! Amazing shot. Sorry you’re having trouble with Google. Hopefully, you’ll straighten things out soon. Thanks for stopping by at my skies!

    I’ve had my own issues with Google on domain stuff. Mine is automatic renewal and I couldn’t cancel if I wanted to. Hmmmph.
    Good luck!
    Beautiful picture, by the way.
