A Warning to Blogspot Bloggers!

I am using host gator and wordpress

I believe it's just "Black Label Ads." bluekaren was responding to i am Storm.

I have all my pics still, thanks!
I am now using host gator web hosting, I saw an ad on Dan & Jennifer log about them. If you use the code "BlogSuccessJournal" you will get the first month free. I had to call their customer service and they walked me through everything.
In order to make my blog user friendly I am using wordpress, the free version.
Howells, if you decide to go that route and you have questions...feel free to ask. I was able to get my blog back up within a few hours. I think host gator has software that can help you tranfer existing content to a new site rather seamlessly.

Mainly I wish to set up my own image hosting service. Not like the big ones out there, but if I or my friends need to upload an image, any kind of image I want something that is safe to use and I know they won't be removing it. It's like if I want to add a pic here on the forums or to a review, I currently can't. Also was thinking about writing reviews but EF provides a fine platform to do that. Anyhow it could still be good someday, thanks for the tip.

Wow! You know, I've hear about this happening by hundreds of people. It's sad because a lot of us work extremely hard on our blogs. I would be truly crushed! I have one at blogspot too and I'm always worried about it being deleted. You're right, google will NOT give you reasons. It's been happening for over a year to people. I honestly hate google. The only reason I've not moved to a wordpress blog is because I tried and couldn't even access the shi* It was FAR too complicated for me!

I really don't think they should be able to just delete a blog. You are lucky though that you were able to relocate your content. Most people say they try signing in one day and BAM! Their blog is gone and they contact blogger and google and NEVER hear a freaking word! Hay, that gives me an idea... why don't we do something to stop it. You know we could start up a pretty good petition to stop these things. I may think about doing that because we work WAY too hard on our blogs and many of us have very important content.

They should at least HAVE to give you exact details on their reasons for deleting. I don't think a blog should ever be deleted unless it's soemthing serious like dedicated to supporting abuse, rape, animal cruelty or something to that extreme nature. Blogs are too important.

I have a question, does anyone know, if you purchase the domain name thingy will they still be able to delete your blog any old time? I've been considering getting my blog to have it's own domain rather than stupid blogspot. I love blogspot, but I hate how they go about things. So many people have lost alot because of hidden rules and crazy terminations of blogs that aren't harmful.

I didn't use Black Label Ads, I have just heard that people who did got deleted. I never did get a reason for being deleted and I'm sure I never will. I just wanted to share what happened to me as a warning to those of you that use them.

Actually, I joined e[lust] and after posting the edition that featured my post, my whole blog was gone. ....I look bad to the readers of e[lust] and the people who contribute.


Kendra, Blogspot is free. They can do whatever they want with it. The point is that you don't have the power over if they delete your content. The fact that they did it without batting an eye, well that is just how they are. My little blog was no big deal to them. I would post the domain question on a google forum, someone might be able to answer for you. They have a lot of technical geeks that follow those forums. Good luck!

I am on blogspot
