Disappearing Act

(update: Notes from the Cookie Jar is up again, thanks to the lovely people at google clients, whose e-mail I had to get from eNom. Perhaps Google, you should make your email address just a bit easier to find.)

So, I'm sure all of you noticed Notes From the Cookie Jar is down.

DOWN. As in, *poof*! Oh! It's gone! Into Internet oblivion! Okay, not really. I've had some domain issues that I'm trying to sort out, and it should be back up in the next 24 hours. If you are visiting from Kid's Vancouver, Welcome!

Yes, the apple crumble recipe was over there. You must try it. So I moved the recipe over here! (see below)

About the domain thing?

Here is a tip, and heed my advice, my blogging pretties, if you want to keep your domain:

If you buy a domain through Blogger/Google, make SURE TO CHECK that little box that says "auto renew". Why? Well, because when your domain expires, just hours before, Google will send you a lovely little email saying that you still have time to renew, just click this link!

The link won't work. AND, you can't sign into your dashboard and click that auto renew button either. I tried. Lovely Kia and Jamie over at I Ate a Rainbow tried. Renewing just isn't going to happen. You will be freaking out, realizing that your site will go doooown and there's nothing you can do. You'll be worried that you will lose your domain name forever.

And then, THEN, your site will be down. Poof!

Google is no help, either. Have any of you tried to find help in Google? Even a contact number of some kind? Merry described it like going through the circles of Hell, because there just isn't any actual help there. Google, you are not user friendly. I admit that I sent you some really nasty notes in the "was this any help" part of your help pages.

Anyway, I called the lovely people at eNom directly, and they promised to fix me up after I send an email detailing what I need to do. Which I've done. Let's hope that things get fixed, shall we? (bites nails)

In the meantime, enjoy Chasing Tomatoes! There's lots of great recipes over here. This week I'm making some yummy muffins, and then a great maple pecan caramel corn so you are prepared for Halloween. There's some pumpkin tarts coming eventually, too.

Have a fantastic Monday!
