In the world of blogging and certainly in my world of blogging, I wanted a separate blog for my random thoughts and strange things and after being introduced by @bbrian017 over at BlogEngage to BloggingWire I decided to use that.

All was going well until the last few days when the site seems to have vanished, including all my posts and work gone into yet another blog!

At first I thought it may be just me who couldn’t access BloggingWire, but today I checked the site using the website “Down For Everyone But Me” and lo and behold, it’s not just me!

It’s not just you! http://bloggingwire.com looks down from here.

As you can see from the response above the site is certainly down, but does anyone know why, upon visiting BloggingWire I constantly get a “403″ error.

This is a real shame as BloggingWire did seem a pretty good site for hosting a free blog, yes I know there are other alternative, but it’s the simple fact of losing all the posts that I had written using the site that is so annoying.

So are you also a BloggingWire user? Have you discovered that your blog has vanished?
