What just happened today?!

Good day everyone,

Let's discuss what happened today!

I woke up this morning, picked up my phone from beside my pillow, and went to blogger.com to see if anything was up. And guess what?

My blog was locked!!
 

Got it from Pixabay.com

WHAT?! I know, that's what I said!
I told my husband what happened and he was like why is it locked?
I was like because I have forbidden content on my blog!
No, I didn't say that!
I said I don't know (the actual answer).

I didn't panic at all! Yes, I didn't. Seriously, I am not joking! I didn't panic because I knew I didn't do anything wrong.

The first thing I did, when I saw the message that my blog was locked, was I appealed the decision (obviously).

Then I reread their Terms of Service to make sure I didn't violate any of their Privacy policy or Terms of Service and I didn't (obviously)!

I knew I didn't do anything; all of my content was my own, I didn't copy anything from anywhere and all the pictures were given credit (even though I got them from a site which does not require me the credit them, but I do!).

Knowing these facts, I still started to panic thinking that what if they really want to remove my blog and just come up with a (invalid) reason to delete it.

I started worrying and thinking about all the time I had put in building it and all the content I had in it. And started thinking what if they decide to delete it, everything (all the effort, time, content, etc.) is gone FOREVER! But deep in my heart, I knew I was right.

I started reading all the scary articles on Blogger help form and everywhere else which troubled my thoughts even more.

Then I thought, why worry about it when I didn't do anything. I thought to just relax and even if they do decide to delete my blog for whatever reason, I can make a new one and just the thought of starting over excited me. Why?

Because I had learned a lot in the past few weeks from participating in the 201 course of Wordpress Blogging University and learned through my own trial and error, so I wasn't afraid to start all over again.

But if I had the blog for over a year or so and had a lot of content in it, I would surely be angry and panicking and worrying.

Google has built its faith in me again by giving my blog back. Thank you to Google and Blogger and everyone else involved.

All in all, I am glad to have my blog back and I am excited to start writing again. :)
