Technology Schmechology

Whoo-hoo. My website is finally back up after 4 weeks. What a nightmare.
Long story short- My domain name expired, the person who initially worked on my website, no longer used thier email address so the the reminders to renew went unnoticed and they were very difficult to get in touch with. Then I found out the domain name was taken back by the company and I had to BUY it back! It took days to find out what the problem was and how to go about fixing it. Once it was figured out it was easy but expensive. Let me re-phrase that... it was easy for my friend David to fix it.. not me :). Technology and I do not have a love affair, we merely co-exist. But I am finally back on the information highway. Note to self - mark expiration date on the calendar TODAY so I never have to go through that again.
