Advantage of WordPress.com

January 9, 2009

Harder for someone to hijack one’s domain as has happened today over at my non-WordPress.com blog. Wonder if I’ll ever get it back. All those years of blogging, gone. I’ve gone from being shocked and angry to just plain sad, crying over my loss.

It wasn’t even a high-traffic blog. It was a low-traffic mostly of late cat blog with a little commentary, no advertisements, nothing to set it apart as being a domain worth taking. And yet it was hijacked.

Why are people so cruel?

Update: Was a severe misconfiguration in Apache. Why are people so dumb? Severe was an understatement, gargantuan error. All fixed now.

And I took steps to lessen the chance of it being actually hijacked since it wasn’t. Don’t want a repeat. Of course, that won’t stop the techs from making those errors.
