  What does it mean if a blog expires? Does the blog disappear permanently?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The blog content remains exactly where it but every link to it in search engines and anywhere else it is linked to on the internet become broken links that do not create a connection to the content but instead produce a 404 page not found error message.

  Thank you timethief. I had found the original article, but because I want to let my domain expire (we have a new domain now), it was not as useful as I had hoped.

  Is there anything that remains unanswered for you about this?
