    She’s being very stoic about it, Gentle Readers. Nothing has been thrown and no loud swearing has happened.

    Thanks, sweetie.

    I am still being quite stoic. Normally I would have still be in a tizzy but – meh.

    oh Caity, what a shame, your blog is one of my must-reads. You’re doing a great job on building a new one, and I guess a fresh start is good.
    I’m just beginning to blog (also on WordPress), so please share your recommendations for backing up?

    Marcie, thank you. I have now installed a little plug in for WordPress called WordPress Database Backup. You can find it on the “plug ins” page (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/). It has a set up that automatically can back up and send a copy to you via email or save it to your computer.

    I had it installed on one of the other blogs I manage – but not on my own! ARRRRRRGH!

    Quick note – thought I’d let you know that I pulled down some cached content from the pre-disaster blog courtesy of Google/Yahoo. What I grabbed doesn’t go back too far, just to January 23 or so. However, I converted what I found to PDF form. If you want it, let me know and I’ll email it to you.

    It may be possible to recover some more content by doing a search on the specific URL of some of the older pages. In fact, hmmm, if I do a Yahoo search on http://caityquilter.com, I see quite a number of pages with caches presumably available. I don’t know how long caches are kept around, though. Might be best to grab them sooner rather than later if you want them.

    It isn’t optimum, I know, but it’s at least something.

    MY SWEET SWEET TANYA – blessings upon you! Yes please! I tried to grab some but kept getting to a dead end. I would LOVE for you to email them to me if it’s not too much trouble!

    *MWAH* (I kisses you)
