We appear (fingers crossed) to be back online with a new domain name – thewanderingwarners.com – with the article the added.

If you’re a subscriber through Kit or Google Blogger, the website should appear if you click on the link. In other words, if you’re reading this you’ve come to the right place, whether you were looking for wandering warners or THE wandering warners.

If, on the other hand, you try a Google search for us using wanderingwarners.com, you may be referred to a dead link. You will find us by searching wandering warners with a space. If you type in wanderingwarners.com, you will get a 404 message. Yuck!

This all resulted either from some internet skullduggery, our own incompetence with technical matters, or perhaps some combination of factors.

The apparent cause of our recent problems was our loss of the ownership of wanderingwarners.com from a Domain Name Service (DNS) provider. Rumor has it that providers or others take over website names without warning when they become available and then offer to sell them back to the owners. We had removed ours from automatic renewal after some previous problems with our provider.

In the meantime, we are grateful to our readers for sticking with us. We just returned from a quick trip to Puerto Vallarta, and we’re on our way to Larnaca, Cyprus.  We have thoughts to share about both.

The offshore (way offshore) expert we hired to patch all this up also freshened up our blog’s appearance. If only we ourselves could be so easily revitalized!

And now, as the TV talking heads used to say, back to our regular programming.

Welcome back! It's great to be able to click on a link and not be greeted by that annoying (but well-intended) security message. It's also nice to see your site name prefaced by "https." Thank you for pursuing that secure track...and thank you for very enlightening, entertaining and well-written posts.
