If you happened to read the preceding entry I posted here, you can imagine how big my frustration was on the successful yet busted domain purchase I made to blogger a week ago. Successful... because, it was successfully registered with Godaddy.com, the authorized domain seller and supposedly be automatically configured to work with Google Apps but they seemed to mess up with it.

Ok, so this is what happened...
07 of Spetember, I tried to buy a custom domain for this page via blogger. Initially, I wanted to use onlinememorylane.com for my domain but the prompt says it's no longer available. So I changed it to ngjaniola.com and it worked. After a while I received successive mails from blogger stating the confirmation of the successful domain purchase as well as this order receipt.

Shipping Status Qty Item Price
Digital delivery 1 Domain Registration onlinememorylane.com - 1 year registration for onlinememorylane.com, powered by GoDaddy.com $10.00
I wonder why onlinememorylane.com when the successful registration was for ngjaniola.com..(??) I was confused but not really that much till the next 3 days when that redirection alert came up that resulted to an ERROR 404 message. This message that I so frustratingly tried to figure out is what prompted me to write the post here. My disappointment from blogger took the best out of me that day that all I just wanted to do is to revert my address back to where it was and no longer give a damn care to such domain thing.

This morning, as we we're talking, I asked my boyfriend JK [in the US] if he can possibly call Google Apps or Godaddy.com for me to ask if there's any way I can request for a refund since I already have reverted my URL to blogspot. He did and a certain Nat from Godaddy.com told him that the domain onlinememorylane.com is currently registered and active under their control.... and ngjaniola.com had wandered elsewhere?!! Haha... this is funny! He actually mentioned the name of the seller earlier but it now slipped my mind.

Grrrr!!!! Isn't this terrible?

Well, anyway it really doesn't matter now. Nat was so kind to have informed us that my valid domain was onlinememorylane.com and the other one was a trash. Hmm... so be it! So, my so..... patient BF hanged up the phone and started reconfiguring my so... hmm... "slippery?" domain, lol... while the Nancy [me] on the other side of the net was wondering whether he can make it or not... After a while, a message from him on my instant messenger popped up saying

"I AM THE GREATEST"...

Hahaha... amazing! just so smart of him cause he really made it work. Yahoooo! Nancy is really in her happiest this morning, lol! Now as you can see on the address bar, blogspot is no longer there.

Thank you so much, sweetheart. You're really the greatest! Love you so much!!

nowhere to find ...

My apology to my online friends and those who have tried to drop by here lately. I am having trouble with blogger recently... seems like they're acting up again. Last week I successfully had purchased a custom domain for this page from them and and was told to be automatically redirected in 3 days. Yesterday, as I tried accessing my old blogspot hosted address which was the www.onlinememorylane.blogspot.com , this is what the blogger has prompted:

You're about to be redirected

The blog that used to be here is now at http://www.ngjaniola.com
Do you wish to be redirected?

An ERROR 404 prompt appears on the screen as I clicked the YES button. So what is this? I asked myself and tried it again anyway thinking that it would work out right after several attempts but no. Should I be bothered with this? YES! There's nowhere to find my blog for long hours no matter how I tried. I've been feeling so frantic since yesterday. Been trying like hell to find out where to address my issue and who to talk to since blogger don't really have a live tech support to immediately respond to people's queries and concerns. This is so disappointing! I have received purchase order receipt in my mail but can't even find it posted to my Google Apps account while they already have successfully subtracted $10 from my visa account. So what on earth is going on here? I mean I have carefully followed every step to do it right on my part. Something is inappropriate from their end. I honestly don't know what else to do here. I already have tried reaching out to them through their help desk as well as posting my issue to their forum section but that doesn't really answer my problem. The links they indicated in the purchase order receipt where I am suppose to track my order is not working either. That really pissed me off!
I mean for me this is plain and simple stupidity... or...should I say... graft??

Well unless they would communicate and point it out what the real problem is, if there's any not only to me because I believe many had encountered the same trouble based on what I have read from their forum section. Cause I really don't think its justifiable for anybody to have spend any amount be it small or big for something in a position of good trust only to get screwed up in the end.

This is not a fair practice. I know there are numbers of blogger out there who have experience different issues with blogger. I wish they could straightened things up. Well for me, if I can't get what I payed for from them, it is only apt to ask for a refund and that's what I'm gonna be doing next unless they have my issue fixed.

By the way, I wanna extend my appreciation to some good friends from here. They were those I turned to for some help and advice when I needed it most this morning before I decided to have my blog reverted to blogspot.

Thanks to:

Ruby of Pinaymommyonline.com...

Rubs, damo gid salamat (thank you so much) for your helpful opinions and for being so warm. You're such a mommy!

To Lainy of Lainy's Musings ...

sis, for your time alone, thank you. I may still consider what you have suggested earlier...

And to my dear JK...

for always being there... Hon, I know we have personal issues too lately but then you never failed to help me out in any form of problem that comes my way. Thank you for being nice even if I'm not, sometimes...oopps!! (personal... lol!)

Anyways, I guess I already have spit enough of my frustrations here. That would be all for now...

I wish you all a happy weekend!!

'till then.
