Perhaps I should have been more explicit. What I meant is when Godaddy contacted me to purchase my domain name, that domain name was in no way mapped to my account - it was not using any GoDaddy services at all. The only way they could have

Just to start off with, I'm not an expert; what I know is from my undergraduate days taking way too many economics classes. If someone is more knowledgeable feel free to call me out. You're not losing much by skipping farm workers

Tumblr gets a bad rap because it’s connected to politics, but for a considerable time it was the best blogging platform: the themes were simple and clean, it supported code fragments, had different post types (picture, video, etc). I still
