Switched Away from GoDaddy.com DNS Hosting
As I said I would, I cancelled my Godaddy.com DNS hosting because I found out about their long string of misogynistic advertisements. See my conversation with Godaddy folks about this.

My web hosting is through Dreamhost so I switched to Dreamhost DNS.
Our Wedding Website

At the bottom, “Visit www.MeganAndLeeWedding.com”
Here are snapshots of the site:
