For quite sometime I had virtually no posts on this blog. And today when I sat down to write something, I was greeted by a parking page. Seems like I mis-spelt my domain name. But no, I did not. It was indeed a parking page on my own domain name. Oh God! I forgot to renew the domain!! It was due for expiry on 24th and today is 26th (in fact 27th as I am writing this at 12:40 am IST)

So, next thing I did was go back to my registrar page and renew the domain, and next went to wordpress.com to renew the domain upgrade there too…

Now when all should have started up normal again nothing was. I went back to registrar and checked the dns settings and there I saw the mess. The DNS entries that I had built there since first registering the domain, two years back, were all gone due to not renewing before expiry, and I had no records for what went where! Though I succeeded in starting up the blog again, there is more work to do to get back to normal.

And now what was that, that I wanted to write today on the blog? I forgot !!
