Can't rejoin network
I am unable to rejoin a widget network after changing a blogger address (www.TerritoryEarth.blogger.com) to a custom domain.(www.TerritoryEarth.net) I get the message "Blidget creation was unsuccessful - Please use a different blog". I realize it may be a problem with the address, but we can't figure it out. What should I do to fix it? Thanks.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Su,
There's something up with your host, as attempting to make a blidget with:
"www.TerritoryEarth.net"
will fail. However, making the same widget with:
"www.territoryearth.net"
works fine. I'd suggest using all lowercase when making your blidget/joining the network.

Inappropriate?Thanks Dave. I was optimistic, but that didn't work either. Maybe I'm trying to do the wrong thing.
The problem is: I still have the Green widget on my blog, so I'm trying to rejoin the green network to get added to the widget, by checking "Add My Blog" on the widget. Then, when I try to join thru "Enter Your Blog URL that you want to associate with a network channel." I got the aforementioned message. When I tried just rejoining by checking "existing blidget", I got the message "no blidgets are available".
Maybe I'm trying to get added back through the wrong place?
I’m determined to figure this out

Inappropriate?If you were already in the network and want to renew your membership, you'll need to go to the status page and re-activate (it'll make sure that the network widget that you originally place there is still there)
If, on the other hand, you delete your previous membership, you'll need to rejoin. That means that you'll need a new blidget. Since you have no blidgets available to join with, I'd bet your old membership is still there.
Go to the network (widgetbox.com/network), and under 'Manage your Membership' on the right of the screen, click the membership that you're reactivating. Follow the prompts and you should be all set.
If you need to change your blog URL still, just send me a link to that status page and I'll take a look.

Inappropriate?That did it-Thanks! For anyone else with a similar problem - when I went into the members section ifor my specific widget it indicated my Blog URL was still the older URL , but the new URL (the custom domain I changed to)was what the feed is using. So it enabled me to choose to "Use the URL from feed to join".
I’m thankful!
