Reflections of the Past
Well, after looking into the shut down of this blog. I was on line with WordPress discussing what happened with my decision to shut this site down.
They automatically changed my site to the Premium plus group. This change put a snag in my travels. They tried to charge my card without my approval. As a result, it went to a fraud alert. So intern, I had to cancel my site so as I could use my card again, by the way, I was at a gas station when this all happened.
We also have been driving and trying to escape this huge rain storm that has been going throughout the Midwest. We have been right in the middle of it for 5 days now.
I have talked to WordPress. They did see that the auto renewal was not checked and did not know how this happened. But, would put my site back on my original plan, if I wanted to. So I chose to reopen it again. I have actually missed posting over the last few days. I have been doing this for 6 years now. I love sharing my photos with all of you.
Thank you for all the encouraging comments. A few of which stated that other folks are thinking of leaving WordPress blogging because of the price.
My suggestion is to call them first and ask what other options are there. They were actually very helpful. Definitely check your subscription yearly. To make sure they don’t automatically charge you for something you are not signed up for.

We are currently on the northern edge of this storm, the rain is easing off today. There is massive flooding all around us. We are thankful to this campground we are at now that let us arrive yesterday at the last moment as we had to evacuate another campground that was down by the Ohio river.
Thank you all, I do appreciate all your comments over the years and I hope to keep blogging and sharing photos for as long as I can.

That sucks!! I have an auto-renewal story as well. It’s actually my mext post. Sorry for the problems but I hope you can now laugh at it.


Beuatiful!
Thank you very much
I’m glad to see you back Sandra and I look forward to many more years of seeing your photos and interacting with you about them. I like the photo which is perfect for “Reflection” and this post. That is an identical reflection. I hope you are out of all the rain and bad weather soon – stay safe in your travels.
Thank you very much Linda.
You are very welcome Sandra!
Happy ending!
Yes
Good to see you back… I was so sad to see you go and it wouldn’t allow a comment by the time I got to read your entry via the notifications…. Happy Photo taking Sandra and Hopefully many more happy years with WP… <3 xx
Sending love and hugs xx <3 xx
Thank you so much Sue, I really appreciate your comment. I do love sharing photos and visiting with you and others. I am glad things worked out with wordpress. Have a wonderful evening Sue.
Happy all turned out okay Sandra xx
Glad you managed to have an acceptable outcome. That’s not always the case with WP.
I know, they were very accommodating on lowering the price to keep my business.
Glad you’re back!
Thank you very much
Glad to have you back.
Thank you very much Ken, I appreciate that. Have a wonderful day.
Wonderful! I was amazed with all the rain we got the last three days, and woke up this morning to snow on my vehicle! April “snow” showers bring May flowers?
Yes, late snows are suppose to be good for the ground I have heard
That’s great news!
We love your work and your person. Glad it worked out. Be safe in the storms. I’m headed back on the Appalachian trail at the end of April and I am very much worried about this year’storms.
Thank you Gerry, there is so much flooding everywhere from this storm. They got another 10 inches of rain in this area we are in just yesterday
Welcome back!
Thank you very much, I have had to fix a few things on the site. But, it would have been harder to start a new site.
Enjoy your break. I look forward to future posts. As with being charged even though you never checked the box on your WordPress plan, I have heard many mentions about that problem. So it’s about time they sort that issue out. I am just glad I am on the free plan.
Thank you Liz, yes I was on the free plan for years and then 2 years ago they started to charge me. I could not find the free one anymore. But, I found a much cheaper one.
