Oops! I Did it Again
I let my domain expire again. This time I had it on my calendar and got the date mixed up with the expiration date for my old hosting plan. That's why I've been quiet since last week. I mean, if no one can get to your site, is there any point in posting? I had my domain renewed by my old host yesterday so it should be back any time now...
*twiddle*
Really. That's what they told me. So I'm writing this even though I can't get to criminalgrace.com yet, just on the off chance that your DNS servers are faster than mine. I really ought to buy several years in advance, just to eliminate this whole problem.

Buying several years of domain also helps with your google ranking.
"Certain signals may be used to distinguish between illegitimate and legitimate domains. For example, domains can be renewed up to a period of 10 years. Valuable (legitimate) domains are often paid for several years in advance, while doorway (illegitimate) domains rarely are used for more than a year. Therefore, the date when a domain expires in the future can be used as a factor in predicting the legitimacy of a domain and, thus, the documents associated therewith."
