I apologize for not posting more frequently. But I picked the wrong registrar for my domain: Name.com. I found a registrar with better features but Name.com wouldn’t allow me to transfer. So, I waited until my year with them expired. And over two months later they still haven’t released my domain. It’s hard to make plans and add content when the future of your domain remains in question.
My advice: DON’T USE NAME.COM!
