Aside, perhaps amusing: A while ago, I used Tumblr as a modest blog of my tech adventures. Put a link to that on my LinkedIn page.

A year or two passed, and while applying for jobs, it occurred to me to check that link. Without telling me, Tumblr had given my URL away to someone who enjoyed posting naked pictures of herself. Lesson learned.

(In truth, given the quality of most tech resumes, I'd be quite happy to click on one and be shown that.)

Tumblr occasionally deletes blogs that don't have active owners. You should have gotten a series of increasingly urgent emails, but I'm sure deliverability is inconsistent.
