Blog Back Up…phew!

Posted Saturday, September 24, 2005 at 6:28pm in Blogging  | 

After a scary couple of days and an emotional post on Blake’s blog, I’ve managed to get my blog back up and running. My host was switching hosts and managed to lose all the content and design of my blog! VERY LUCKILY! Lee, the guy who installed some plugins for me a couple of weeks back, made a back up of all my files. Turns out I only lost a couple of weeks posting and the content out of a couple of static pages are gone, including my “About” page, hence the dodgy Latin that’s in there now. Although my RSS feed is still the same, I had to re-subscribe it to my subscriptions before it started picking up my new posts again. So perhaps some people who are subscribed to this blog won’t receive updates. Please visit this blog and re-subscribe my feed.

*Lesson learnt*

Always back up, back up, back up! Just like you do with your Word docs, music and other important files. Although money is an important factor, it was more of the time and effort I have put in to my blog! It’s a scary thought to imagine it all gone in a puff of smoke!
