TOD Domain name cock-up

Apologies for a brainfart that has resulted in the domain name, www.theonlinedarkroom.com, expiring. If you're reading this then you'll know that the blog can be viewed in exactly the same way at this blogger.com url. Nothing's changed - except for the fact that people who normally visit the earlier domain name are now getting an error message.

The explanation is simple but doesn't excuse my oversight at all. When I registered www.theonlinedarkroom.com I did so using an email address that I no longer have. The registration expired on November 11 and, no doubt, I'd have been sent a reminder message telling me to renew. Obviously, I didn't get it and, consequently, forgot about the expiry date.

It's proving a bit of a problem resurrecting the domain name. What should have been a fairly straightforward process is proving quite difficult for a couple of reasons I won't go into. At the end of the day, it makes very little difference what the url is as the blog looks exactly the same regardless. I might just continue using this blogspot.com address.

Letting my regular readers know about change is the issue. I dare say that people would find their way back here at their own speed but it would be good if everyone reading this could pass the news onto a friend if he or she is also a reader.

So, with that admission out of the way, it's business as usual - at least for the half dozen readers I have left!
