These past few days I’ve been under mild anxiety attack over worrying sick that this blog of mine will expire in 8 months as every time I have blog check for traffic rank the result would always tell me that it’s already 9 years old and it will expire in a few months, when in reality I have been blogging for just barely 3 months. So anxious about the status of this little virtual world of mine I ask people around who knew best than I do.
I was hesitating at first as they might ask for consultation fees. But not this fellow, He gave his words free. I’m talking about John Lottery of ASK THE BLOGSTER, I consulted him about these worries of mine and this is what he has to say;

Vernz,
Stop Worrying!!!
Your blog (and the 3 of mine) are all created on the free service blogger, and have a main url domain name of blogspot.com which is owned by Google.
If you use whois.com and enter blogspot.com, you'll see that this URL was:
Created on............: 2000-07-31.
Expires on............: 2010-07-31.
Record last updated on: 2009-06-07.
Since today is 2009-11-23, you can see that blogspot.com will expire in 8 months - 23 days and is now 9 years 3 months and we days old.
I put in your blog name and mine into website grader, and both return the same Off-Page SEO Domain Info.
Since our blogs are sub-domains of blogspot, we don't have a url listed nor do we have to pay for it.
Since Google owns blogspot, rest assured that they will renew their URL registration when the time comes.
So, stop worrying and start writing!
It won't expire!
That's the beauty of using blogger. We don't have to do anything except create our blog, write new posts, and publish them.
If you have any other questions, let me know!
