More on My Blue Creek Home Disaster

Some of you may have heard that I lost my blog over the weekend.  Thankfully, I had started it at blogspot.com before I purchased the domain and changed it to .com.  This allowed me to continue to access the blog at the blogspot address with all of the contents intact.   The problem is that any links you guys have do not come to me now and most of my internal links are broken.

The man who bought my domain (fair and square, I might add) has set up house at my old blog address (bluecreekhome.com) For the first few days when you visited, you were redirected to GoDadddy. Today, he suddenly has six or seven posts - a new header - some talk about interior design and decorating, and google adds. Please if you go over, don't click on anything. I don't want this guy to make a cent on my traffic to this address.

Find me at bluecreekhome.blogspot.com for now and please change your link address to the new blogspot address if you have my button, follow me, or have me saved to favorites/bookmark.
This has taken the wind out of my sails. I am trying to decide if it's time for a break so that I can focus 100% on little Mason and family. I will keep y'all updated.

A few of my best blog friends have offered to post this on their blog for me and I appreciate you guys. Anyone else, please feel free to copy this and post it for me -I want to keep this man from getting my traffic!
And, a word of warning to those who may own their domains - don't let it expire!!! Domain squatters are waiting like vultures in the wings to buy it.  One thing I WILL NOT DO is try to buy it back from him.
I sincerely appreciate each one of you,
Rhonda

    Hi Rhonda,

    I wondered what had happened. I'd just added your blog to my sidebar a couple of weeks ago and tried to access it three or four times over the past few days...can't remember for sure when it started but know it was over the weekend.

    I'm changing the link on my sidebar now.

    So sorry you're going through this!

    Nancy

    Rhonda,
    Okay I'm taking a tiny little break from cleaning house and thought I would check my blog and saw Sherry's post...you can count on me to help spread the word about your new home. This world is just full of BAD people...it's really very sad:( Everything is going good here with all the last minute wedding details...just say a little prayer that it stays this way. You can't give up, because I would be so SAD...now you know...AU TIGERS never give up:)

    Blessings,
    Linda

    I had to pop over there to see what his site was about. AND. I. DON'T. KNOW. Seriously, he's got a post about making a child's playground and suggests not planting poisonous or thorny plants. No kidding?

    Oh Rhonda - I am so sorry to hear of this situation! I am horrified that this kind of thing goes on. Don't give up - though I can imagine you're tempted. Life is so hard and there are so many unscrupulous people out there. We will all support you, for sure.
    Sending a big hug and will pray for God's favor in this disappointment.

    Hi Rhonda, I can only imagine how frustrating this is. Don't you even think of shutting down your blog! You have too many friends and followers out here that would miss you terribly. Don't let this vulture win!!
    Hugs,
    Sherry

    Saw this on Sherry's site...so sorry for all this hassle. Do we get any notification when it is time to renew? Take care...most people in this world are good. That idiot is going to have very bad karma.
