Lost article and followers after change of host

    In March I started the process of changing my host, as I wanted the URL theframeblog.com, rather than theframeblog.wordpress.com, and I believed that I could only do this with a change of host. It went wrong, because I had chosen a hosting service which wasn’t up to the job, and I switched to GoDaddy. In the process of moving from the bad to the better service, I lost 6 months’ worth of artciles’ these were recovered from theframeblog.wordpress.comm site, and even the statistics mostly got moved.

    I thought that a week ago everything had been sorted out, after over a month of angst and trauma, but a few days ago I discovered that another article is missing.
    : http://theframeblog.wordpress.com/2018/03/05/stefano-bardini-dealer-restorer-and-collector-of-frames/ does NOT appear on the site here: https://www.theframeblog.com/ I am, of course, worried that perhaps other articles may go missing in this way.

    Also, a lot of people have recently followed The Frame Blog (I am not sure if as WordPress followers, or as email subscribers), but none of these has been added to the total number of followers; this went up to 790 briefly, but then fell back to 788 for several weeks, before rising grudgingly to 789. I am sure that it must be in the high 790s, if not 800s.

    PLEASE help me; I have spent so much money and time to try to get the hosting of my magazine sorted out, and it has just turned into a complete bird’s nest, with bits here and other bits there… All I wanted was to have the site just as it was on WordPress, with the Premium status I had paid for, but with the URL theframeblog.com, to give it more academic credibility. GoDaddy advertizes that they can take over WordPress hosting, but WordPress seems to make it very difficult for them to do this…

    I sent this plea to you on Friday 20th April, but at the end of a chain of support emails; perhaps you do not read these, but it means that you cannot access the history of what has been going on with this site.

    With best wishes,

    Lynn
