$0.50 for the first 30 days, after that they must upgrade to fully a
paid account or get expired.

I quite literally have no idea what you are talking about. Headers below
from an email confirmation I just received. There might be a problem
here that we can fix but without getting details from you, I've got
nothing to go on. In the meantime, the same developer that wrote the
initial version of OpenSRS will continue down the road with the next
release of Blogware. Drop me a note with some details and I'll see what
I can do to fix the problem for you.
