Why does my site look different when accessed via Google?

Hello,

I've been working on a site for a friend, and I've been using Yahoo! Site Builder. When I go directly to the site through the address bar, it shows up all updated as I'd like it to.

I have hosted my own website and mail accounts with Yahoo for 3 years, but last week my website went down and a day later my mail account vanished. I checked my bank records and found that no money had been taken by Yahoo for a couple of months, this is probably due to me cancelling my credit card after it was stolen in september. My problem is this... I have received no word from Yahoo about them cancelling my account, so I have no address to contact them, and I can not access Small business help without signing in, and now I have no account to sign in with!

Why has my blog disappeared?

I have a WordPress blog through my Yahoo Business hot (www.capuderfantasia.com/blog). I called Yahoo Business support and they referred me to WordPress. But all of the help I got from Wordpress is along these lines: not that you have renamed your themes and plugin folders, your blog should be back up and running. But it is not. Does anyone know of any reason specific to Yahoo Business, as opposed to through Wordpress, as to why my blog completely disappeared? I aks this in part because I created a new Yahoo group for my business this weekend, updated it to the new groups interface, and my Yahoo group, its functionality, access to help, etc., have all been horribly buggy. Thanks very much for any suggestions.
To answer JK's questions: I last did anything to my blog on November 11, 2010. On Nov 11, I was in the dashboard and was intending to create new links for my blog. I saw from the dashboard that two plugins had updates, and I clicked the button to update both. The plugins were in fact updated, based on looking at the files plugin files later with FileZilla: the changed plugins were 1-click-retweetsharelike and xhanch-my-twitter (based on the file names). The updating appeared to go normally, and then, still from the dashboard, I clicked the links button to add a link to my blog. The dasboard froze at that point, and my blog disappeared after that. If I go into the Yahoo Business dashboard where I should be able to access my blog, and various administrative functions, every link that I click pulls up a blank page. If I try to access my blog by typing in the URL, or clicking a link from another site, I get a blank page. JK, thanks very much for your post.
