And the site is ugly.... The server hosting our blogs over on JaguarPC went down. Some files became corrupted, according to them, and the couldn't save them. So, they ended up having to go back to their last "back up". Which was October 3rd. Fortunately for me, I had backed up my blog. A few days ago, Mike and I were unable to access our blogs. It said that we weren't authorized to access the MySQL database. A feeling of panic came over me. Unable to get to my blog? I pictured years of work wiped out. I hadn't backed up the blog in ages. Mike was able to change a couple of lines and gave us permission again. I backed up my blog immediately.
So, since I hadn't backed up a blog in ages, I forgot exactly what I was supposed to do as far as importing entries. So, I hit the import button. I was thinking that I would have to load the file into the blog. No, I forgot that ages ago, I had added an import folder to the MT folder. And sitting in that folder was the back up entries for Project 66 Bug. Guess what happened? Yes! I had loaded to files from Project 66 Bug into my directory. I removed the 66 bug files and put my backed up blog into the import folder. I loaded it into the directory. Yes! All the entries were there. Twice..... Yes, except for the last few entries, every entry over the past several years was in there twice. So now, I had categories that included the ones from Proect 66 Bug. Entries from that blog, and over 500 duplicated entries. My options were to go through and delete every repeated entry. Delete the 66 bug categories and entries and then rebuild the whole mess. I decided to start from scratch. So, It's back to this. I will get it back to where it was. Right now, I need to find some missing images.
I only lost two entries. The one with the pictures of the spiders. And the one I posted about the Superman mylar balloon. I will post the Superman one again. I don't know about the spiders.
Okay.... I just added a new stylesheet. It's called Georgia. I don't know if I like everything on the other side. I need to play around with it more.
