Have I done something wrong – WordPress blog vanished January 9, 2007

Hi I have 5 blogs on wordpress.com, sorry, I had 5 blogs on wordpress.com until tonight.

On going to login at wordpress.com I was greeted with the message your account has been suspended. Now as far as I am aware I have not done anything to breach terms and conditions of using wordpress.

I tried several times to login without success, checking cookies are enabled etc but still no joy. I then clicked on the “lost your password link at the bottom of the login screen and entered my email address. Sure enough I was emailed a link to request a new password and after clicking I received another email containing a new password.

I was able to login successfully with the new password but immediately noticed one of my blogs has gone completely from the control panel. The blog offered spyware prevention and removal advice. There is no sign of it anywhere. I do not think I have breached any terms and conditions so can anyone offer any explanations or has anyone experienced a similar situation.

I find it a little weird to say the least.


update:
Apparently it was due to the fact I had placed an affiliate link on the blog. I did not realise this was against terms and conditions and have now removed it.

Who likes Ugly Betty? January 8, 2007

My wife and I watched the first episode of Ugly Betty on Channel 4. I really enjoyed it and think it will prove to be a great series.

My wife on the other hand felt it was very derogatory and insulting to clumsy badly dressed people wearing braces (on their teeth before you say it). Maybe the first episode was intended to begin a story of how people can be misjudged by the “beautiful people” and the realisation that they were wrong.

I may have misunderstood altogether but it looks like it will only get better.

Comments please.
