<p style="text-align: left;">It was nearly a month ago. I was so happy to have finished my post<strong><a href="http://www.merveoflaz.net/magic-calls-thee-lets-meet-this-weekend.html" target="_blank"> &#8220;Magic Calls Thee &#8211; Let&#8217;s meet this weekend!&#8221; </a></strong> Like all bloggers, I wanted to share my recent post on my Facebook wall and clicked on the &#8220;Share&#8221; button. I was feeling like a kid who was ready to show his / her homework to the teacher after a long study. As you can guess, I was impatient to see my dear PLN liking and sharing my post:)</p>
<p>But what was that? A message box appeared on my screen. My eyes ould see it, but my brain was rejecting to receive it! Although I tried again and again, it kept appearing. Apparently, Facebook wasn&#8217;t allowing me to share anything from my blog. After a quick search, I learnt that Facebook could have put my blog into its spam list or someone (Most probably more than 1 person) could have reported my blog. Both reasons seemed to be helpless.</p>
<p>I sent countless messages and completed millions of forms. Everybody around tried to help me by filling in forms and sending messages to Facebook, but nothing changed.</p>
<p>At last, I decided to move my blog to a new domain <strong><a href="www.merveoflaz.net" target="_blank">www.merveoflaz.net</a></strong> and here I am. My blog is all new and fresh, ready to be shared:)</p>
<p>The only problem was about the gadget <strong><a href="http://www.clustrmaps.com/" target="_blank">ClustrMaps</a></strong>. Because it was a new blog, it only showed one visitor at first. I was so sorry to be losing the number of my visitors on my previous blog.</p>
<div id="attachment_1397" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.merveoflaz.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/clustrmaps-merveoflaz.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1397 " title="clustrmaps merveoflaz" src="http://www.merveoflaz.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/clustrmaps-merveoflaz-300x80.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="80" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I LOVE CLUSTRMAPS <img src='https://www.merveoflaz.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></div>
<p>I sent a Tweet to <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/clustrmaps" target="_blank">@clustrmaps</a></strong> and received an immediate reply. I was amazed. They took care of me by sending what I had to do and then they moved all the visitors to my new blog. They just managed this in a few days. I am so grateful  to the team of <strong><a href="http://www.clustrmaps.com/" target="_blank">ClustrMaps</a></strong> for all the help and support they have given. You should definitely add this gadget and follow it on Twitter.</p>
<p>Finally, I am able to share my posts on Facebook safely. My blog came back to life with a new name and it will be counting the  visitors from where I left:) That really looks like a kind of &#8220;reincarnation into a higher level&#8221;:) Below is what happened during this spiritual journey of my blog:)</p>
<p><strong>What my blog learnt:</strong></p>
<p>Without a Facebook share, a blog post is all alone. It can even turn into a pathetic figure:S</p>
<p><strong>How my blog felt<strong>:</strong></strong></p>
<p>It felt like  a celebrity whose website was attacked by a group of &#8220;freaky jealous people&#8221;:)</p>
<p><strong>Who my blog thanks to:</strong></p>
<p>Thanks to my friends, my colleagues, my students, my mum, and even my neighbours:) for all the support they have given and for cheering me up.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>No matter what happens, I will keep writing and sharing:)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Stay tuned and follow my reincarnated blog!</strong></p>
