Domains Expire
First, a little background regarding websites on the Internet.
When anyone (a person, an organization, a business, a governmental unit) wants a website, they must purchase a domain name. Examples are paypal.com, texas.gov, and wildernessoaksrv.com, and 35rv.us, of course. They purchase it by the year, with two years being a common period. Once purchased, it can be renewed each time it expires.
Before it expires, only the original owner can renew the domain name.
After it expres, the owner has the exclusive right to renew it for some number of days—but it will cost about $80 in addition to the normal cost. After this grace period, the domain name is available to anyone.
If you have a domain name and want to keep it, be sure to renew it before expiration! It'll save you a lot of hassle and money!
But there is life after 35rv.us domain expires!
35RV.US Domain Expiring
In a few days (February 25) the 35rv.us domain will expire. I do not intend to renew it.
It has served its purpose by hosting a "daily newspaper" for the people of the park which preceededWilderness Oaks RV Resort. The timing could hardly be better! There's a new park; the old one has gone away.
The domain name related to the previous park can go away, too!
What's It Mean For Me?
If you go to the previous blog by typing in 35rv.us, or if you have the site saved in your favorites as that domain, you will no longer get to the site by using 35rv.us.
The site will actually remain, as it is a Blogger or Blog Spot site, owned by Google. The actual URL of the site, therefore, is
rockport-rv35.blogspot.com/. The old blog will be available at that location "forever."
There is also a link to it on this new blog. There are two ways to get to it, so those pictures and articles of "the good ol' days" will still be avialable.
The first post (article) was posted over seven years ago, on February 5, 2007. 820 posts have been made.
The site has enjoyed nearly 67,000 pageviews!
I'd say it was a success!
About The Blog
Because park residents found it useful, I decided to continue it when the park was sold and rebirthed as Wilderness Oaks RV Park.

Viewers are transitioning to this, the new site. All guests and former guests are invited to read the blog and submit articles.
Old friends love to hear what their friends from the park are doing, no matter where they are doing it!
You'd love an update on Nurse Bev, wouldn't you? And Marv, of course!!
