I haven’t been able to load the website all day:

```auto
This site can’t be reached
www.talkingsober.com’s DNS address could not be found.

```

Until I finally realized what the issue is: “[talkingsober.com](http://talkingsober.com)” is fine, but “[www.talkingsober.com](http://www.talkingsober.com)” won’t resolve in DNS because “www” has no CNAME record.

I wasn’t explicitly _trying_ to go to [www.talkingsober.com](http://www.talkingsober.com), rather, I am in the habit of typing domain names (e.g. “talkingsober”) in the address bar and hitting Ctrl+Enter, which automatically tacks on a “www.”.

You can make the site redirect from [www.talkingsober.com](http://www.talkingsober.com) to [talkingsober.com](http://talkingsober.com) if you like (this is what I do with my own website). All I’m suggesting is not throwing errors when someone tries loading [www.talkingsober.com](http://www.talkingsober.com).

Thanks for catching that. I’ve updated the DNS records.
