Success ... So I Thought ..

Hello my dear friends,

this is what I had planned to share with all you lovely bloggers today. I had started to draft this yesterday after noon ...


"  I am so happy to be able to share this with you today.

 I was contacted by the 'Legal and Abuse' department from the domain provider of that disgusting website, who had no knowledge of what was going on and as of right now, the website I had an issue with is ...

... 'UNDER MAINTENANCE'.

I have checked it several times just to make sure and yes, it is not there anymore and I hope it stays that way. That also means that nothing outrages it linked back to Todolwen anymore or at least that is for the time being. And all the other links to other bloggers/crafters website are off that website as well and that makes me even happier now because I was able to help others too by pursuing this.

And to all of you my dear friends, thank you all so very much for all your support and sweet words ~ I love you all for this.

Now I can get back to normality hopefully and concentrate on being creative again."


Unfortunately I drafted my post too early.

Just after I had checked the first website out, I decided to just run a google search on the name Todolwen. Several pages came up and I flew over a lot of the descriptions of the websites and then suddenly, there was again something that made me stop and look further. You will not believe this, but again I found another website just like the first one, but this one that had used my photographs from some of my newest creations and they again added my website name too and again right next to my creations there were very explicit photos.

This time I found contact information which I did send an e-mail too but I again went one step further and tracked down the company that sold the domain name and again you won't believe this ... it was the same company that sold the other domain in the first case.

I again have written to this re-seller of the website now in question and again asked for everything of mine to be removed and I have now also started thinking of informing my lawyer about this.

Now again I am waiting to hear from someone that will hopefully will make sure that this issue will be sorted very soon.

I can't believe how many times I used the word again in this post. I am sickened that this is happening and I am outraged about it so much that I am not sure which steps I will take in this matter.

I would like to warn all of you lovely bloggers out there .again .. this could happen to you too. My advice to you is, once in a while go and google search  your blog or website name. Do an image search on a random photograph that you have published on your site and just check and if you find anything. If you do and you can't find a contact source then don't stop there but find out who sold the domain name and contact them.

Last but not least ..

... I am so sorry, I have felt the need to share all of this with all you lovely people, I just want to make sure that you are informed about what is happening on the Internet and how you can be effected.

Blogland is meant to be a nice place without anything disgusting and distasteful like this.

Fingers crossed ... again ... that this will be resolved very soon.

Thank you for all your support and kind words.

Hug,

  2. I am so sorry to hear that it's still happening. I simply don't understand how people who do these things can sleep at night. If only they would turn their so-called technical abilities towards doing good instead of evil.

  4. I have just found your beautiful blog from an entry on Pinterest... and I have to tell you... I have been blogging for almost six years, and I know my huge number of page views can't be just from my little blog... I have never found out, but I think they are connected to the same kind of thing. Thanks for pursuing this!
