WHERE I’VE BEEN

PreviousNext

79ideas_where_i_was
Hey there!
Long time no see – I missed you guys! But I’m back so grab a cup of coffee and sit down… I have so much to tell you.
A month ago – Google deleted my blog. Without any reason, no explanation… just – boom. No 79ideas. First I was shocked, then I cried, then I sent millions of emails, wrote in their support forum… No reaction… And I almost gave up blogging when few good friends helped me to rebuild my small website. From scratch. We changed the platform so I don’t have to rely on BlogSpot and Google anymore, who obviously don’t care about the regular users. Bye Google. Sorry that our relationship didn’t work out.

So after 5 years (yes, my blog was deleted when it turned 5 year, exactly the same day) I decided to change a little bit the concept of the blog. I hope you will like it as well as the new design here (I’m still learning how to work with WordPress and maybe some of the things are not perfect for the moment but bear with me please).

79ideas_good_morning
And thank you for all your emails and questions while 79 ideas was down. It means so much to me.

P.S. If you are blogger who is using BlogSpot as a platform, maybe my Google experience will be help you too. If you your blog and your work is valuable I suggest you to switch your platform if you can, because I don’t want you to lose your work as I did a month ago. Or at least make regular backups of your content.

    Radostina, I really love your blog and read it daily – so was surprised that it was down for such a long time! It’s great to see you back and I was shocked to read that Google has deleted your site!!! I am sure it was a terrible experience for you – I hope I won’t be in your place with my self-hosted wordpress blog…. Google is behaving like a monopolist – they think they can do whatever they want, whenever they want….

      Aww Anna, you are so sweet. Thank you for the support. Yes, the experience with Google was bad, but don’t worry I think that you will be safe with WordPress. Hugs

    It’s great to c u back.
    With blogspot, yeah..after 2 yrs of blogging they , for no reason, cancelled my adsense account. No explanations … nothing. I too wrote many emails…but guess they all fell on deaf ears. I think I too should seriously think about switching.
    Anywayz…it’s really nice to have 79ideas back & looking forward to many more inspiring posts.

      Thank you Minol. you know my experience now … I used to liked Blogspot – it was user friendly and it was Google… and I was very disappointed by their behaviour. And by telling this I hope I will save problems to other bloggers.

I am on blogspot since years and at some points I thought about changing but never had the time or the will to have to learn a new platform. I for sure will do more backups now and think again about moving. Have a beautiful day!
