Recently, I decided to allow a number of my GoDaddy domains expire. I had about 15 domains registered including my business domains for BZTech Solutions and my three personal domains:
- My main blog – Quawkle.com
- My landing domain – Schlottman.com
- My experimental domain – Graceplanet.com
I had a number of other domains that I previously registered with the intent of doing something special but never did. One of those was, heartofpapa, with which I had always planned to share my journey of being a dad. Being a dad is really the first and most important aspiration I ever had. My dad struggled with the responsibility and as a young man, that impacted me to want to break a cycle and be a different father in my genealogical line.
After five years of dormancy, this morning, I had a change of heart and decided to save the domain (7 days before it expired), move it to a different and less exploitive registrar, hover.com, and set up an inexpensive (read free) blog on Tumblr.
They say the “proof is in the pudding”, so now I have committed to posting real content – a journal of journey as a dad. I hope it is interesting. I hope it is worthwhile, but most of all – I hope it is real and I hope you’ll join me!
