So I'm getting F'd over big time

Hey all,

I wasn't planning on updating this blog very often over the offseason anyway, but if you went to this site like I did recently, you'll find that the domain has been taken over by some stupid online advertising company.

I checked in with Google (since I use Blogger to manage my blog) for an obligatory "WTF?"

I've been told that my domain expired, even though I have my account set to renew automatically and I just paid my renewal costs for the domain back in April.

Now I have to contact Danica Patrick over at GoDaddy.com, and buy back my own freaking domain name. They'll likely charge me more than what I've been already paying.

It's all incredibly stupid, and if it's an exorbitant amount, I might need to either keep my blog at this blogspot address or change the blog name all together.

Again, all incredibly stupid, but will keep you guys updated.

P.S. Any advice would be much appreciated.
