Alive again
What happens if you neglect your blog for a month or two? Especially if you take no notice of your web host’s email notifying you of a PHP upgrade?
The blog DISAPPEARS, that’s what! I took a random look at my google analytics last night and discovered I flatlined on Nov. 23. I checked the blog and it was gone. During the night, it occurred to me to check emails from my webhost. Sure enough, a PHP upgrade notice for Nov. 23.
At least my web host is responsive. I submitted a support ticket at 4 am and by 6, they’d found and fixed a database corruption. I don’t really know if that was caused by the php upgrade, and don’t really care, as long as I don’t have to start from scratch setting up the blog.
I may even go back to bed. It’s still only 6 am!
You shoudl go and have a nap. That is a huge accomplishment! LOL
Wow, didn’t realize that could happen. Glad you got it all back. That must have been very frustrating!
I have 3 old Italy trip blogs I haven’t touched in years now (can’t remember the password!). Blogger blogs. I went to check. So far all is well. I guess one day they will probably disappear. I wish I could remember the password so I could transfer them all over to one blog.
Whew! That is a nightmare. Thank goodness you were able to retrieve for your sake and all of us fans of your blog.
