Once upon a time
in a blog far away
there once was a writer
who blogged every day
He wrote a poem here
a little essay there
all about his inner thoughts
he laid his feelings bare
You would think that all was well
his words were tight and clean
but one day when he changed his server
They vanished from his screen
*Stop.fucking.around.with.things. lol
The writer shook his head
as he tumbled out of bed
feeling like a dog
beacuse he’d lost his blog
worked on it through night
without any end in sight
“It’s all gone,” he said
“Well, stop fucking around with it,” she said.
A lesson learned, he has to rebuild,
Oh what a bitter pill.
.
Thank you my dear for your astute observation.
LOL…THIS is why I hesitate to move my blog.
Hi Jaymie,
Good to see you on my new and improved blog. Except there’s not a lot to see on this one. lol
ha Ha ha Ha !!!!! Sorry. Too funny ! Glad to see it’s all happening for your again !
Hi Colleen,
Good to see you again.
Yes, I messed it all up and lost the lot. I’m back now though, and that means I have a whole lot of writing to do. It’s funny now but when I was faced with that blank blog, and all that work lost I wasn’t a happy chap. lol
oh man!!!
i think i will go now to back up everything i ever did
i guess i should have done that long ago.
i have once ask wordpress about it – how to backup everything in a click – they had no answer. shame..
good luck with this new coming..
Hi Dhyan,
It was a shock to me when I lost everything. Boy, was I pissed off! I didn’t know how to back anything up on my blog but I do now lol.
Because I host WordPress on my own domain, I can use a plugin called WordPress Database Backup. I can set this to backup my blog on a regualr schedule, and have it emailed to my inbox. In theory, I should be able to re-install my blog if anything else goes wrong. I wish I’d known this before it all did. lol
i wish it too. did you, like me, just wrote everything here or you do have some kind of other place with all your writing?
i will check again with wordpress if that plug in trick can be done and last – in which format does it save everything ?
Hey Dhyan,
I wrote everything on my blog, even though I have Windows LiveWriter where I could have saved everything. Alas, I was too lazy to use it and suffered the loss of all my work.
I have no idea what format it saves things, Dhyan. All I have is this: “paulandrewrussell_com_1_wp_x37bld_20100206_126.sql.” from the last backup. I think it’s in the server database format, and I have yet to read the instructions on how to re-install it if anything goes wrong.
Hope that helps.
that is great , thanks for the time and help
and once again
sorry for your loss
No problem Dhyan,
Hope it helped.
