This is the risk you take when you sign up to a 'free' blog account
with some web-based blogging services (not just Google
'Blogger' - although they are one of the biggest and most
influential players in the blog world).
First you'll panic, then you'll fume and moan (after trawling
through the annoying FAQs to try and get your blog resurrected).
Failing that you'll then try to contact someone like Google to try
and sort out the problem - forget it - they don't talk to anyone,
unless you're paying them for advertising. Your months, possibly
years of hard work has disappeared down the plug-hole, never to be
seen again, AND YOU CAN'T DO A THING ABOUT IT!
You've trod on someone's toes, they've made an official complaint to
the blog service providers (Google Blogger' in this example) and
they in turn have clicked on their mouse button to shut you up and
make you disappear. It doesn't just happen in China or Korea!
The
solution? DON'T use 'free' blogging services run by someone else
other than yourself. If you blog serious content on sensitive
subjects then get yourself a domain name of your own, host it on a
private server and be in total control of your OWN site and not be a
slave to a 'free blog service' run by someone else.
There is no such thing as a free lunch - there can be a nasty price
to pay, unless your blog is a personal gossip natter about the
latest soap opera, show biz weddings or similar shallow servings! |
