Our blog, swirlingvortex.blogdrive.com, has been disabled. May I know why? And is there a way to fix this?
If I violated your terms of service in any way, I sincerely apologize. I'm one of those clueless people who never read the TOS. Again, I'm sorry. And I'd be happy to undo whatever it is that I've done.
