I'm such a dork! 09/05/2009
 
So, it's about 1:30 am and I just accidentally deleted my freakin' blog! Yes, i'm effin dying inside just a little. No retrieval. I did manage to copy from another screen some of my posts. Of course, all of my wonderful comments are gone. So, please don't think I deleted them. I cannot believe this!!!!! Anyway, bare with me as I get my place back in order. UGH!!!

Update: It's almost 4:30 am and I have copied and pasted all but one post- sans comments. *tears*  There was one other post on another page that I couldn't access because I needed to republish my website. Thank goodness I had the original one up in another tab while I was editing. How did I do this? Trying to add a new page and it wasn't cooperating, so I deleted it and I guess I hit delete and yes one too many times. Lucy would totally call me a blockhead right now. I'll be over this in a day or two.

Update #2: It's now 2:17 pm Tuesday, Sept. 8th and I just finished moving over comments from the old blog page. How did I do this? Weebly restored my old blog page today. So, instead  of moving posts and comments around, I just copied and pasted the old comments onto the new blog page. This is why some older comments will look kinda funky. I made sure I included the original timestamps, though they were all reposted with today's date. It took about an hour, but I'm glad peace is restored to my little nook.

It happens to the best of us. I've done it so many times I thought I'd give up. I figure what God has for me is for me and if hurriedly I delete it then it must mean that God has something better in store for me; you too.

BrownGirl,

I'm sorry to hear about that. I know how defeating that is for a blogger. I used to write my posts in Word because I've started a few in Wordpress, hit something weird (didn't save the post), and gone, gone went my post. I'm going to go back to saving my original posts in Word. Get over it :) and count it as a lesson learned.

MHM, I did get over it actually. And just when I did, weebly, came along and responded to my shot in the dark request to restore the old page. So, I moved all the comments over to this one. I made that second update after you posted your comment, btw.

Thanks to you and Kim for listening to me vent. :)

Hey BrownGirl!
I've deleted my ENTIRE SITE before! LOL! It's not funny...no...it's not...and I wanted to cry...maybe I did...a little...That wonderful "back" key sometimes will save me when I delete little things - you can use it to go back and then copy what you had.

I feel your pain!
