Hi Gordon, Please don't apologies for missing a previous email, I know you've had a lot of things going on, haven't we all, and I'm in absolutely no rush anyway, so that's perfectly fine, I just wanted to mention it in my previous email. As for your domain name problem, I believe WordPress use a third-party registrar called Automatic, you should try contacting them. Although the may be incurring charges on top of a standard renewal fee, if the Domain is past it's grace-period. In which case, you would probably be better off waiting for it to become available as a new domain. I presume you've checked domainnames.com and looked up the registar and current data of the domain to see where it's position exactly? If not, I suggest you do that and I have pasted below, the ICANN's policy and explanation of Domain Name redemptions: http://archive.icann.org/en/registrars/redemption-proposal-14feb02.htm Hope this helps, sorry I could not be of more assistance as I've never actually registered a domain through WordPress. Thanks. Regards. Allyn Stansfield.

The domain was registered via WordPress, but it expired in February. That's what is confusing me, it should be back into the PD by now, but it isn't. It's still flagged as registered. I can't see anywhere on Wordpress where I can renew it from my account settings. I've been out of touch, due to illness, for a very long time. Lynne is currently at work but I think she must have overlooked something regarding your request for a mailing list. We will contact you of list and perhaps you could let us know what kind of service level you would want. Please understand that we weren't ignoring you, if you were waiting for a contact. There's been a lot going on here recently in our personal lives, so please accept our apologies. I'll try to get that sorted for you asap.

Hope this helps and please ask Lynne to contact me privately regarding the offer of providing me with an email group. Thanks. Regards.
