Saturday night I tried to sign into my blog and it had totally and completely DISAPPEARED! I was calm at first....thinking there was someone somewhere we could call and get to the bottom of the problem. Little did I know there is NO blogger customer service. My gmail account and blog had been marked as spam and so we changed the password and thought that would fix the problem. NOPE.
There is a "forum" that is so cryptic and confusing and THAT is what is supposed to help you get your blog back. O yeah...and it takes up to 2 days for them to review your blog to make sure you really are a "person." The scariest part was reading about all of the other people out there that this has or had happened to. Some people don't get their blogs back. It doesn't matter if you have a public or a private blog. This happens to TONS of people!
Me and my little ol' family blog...such spammers let me tell ya!
I had a bit of a melt down last night. Seriously.....3.5 years of our lives, GONE? I felt I had lost all my scrapbooks to a fire or something. I couldn't even think about all the hours and memories that had just vanished.
Well, today it came back up. I was as happy as Christmas morning. I have spent the last hour saving EVERYTHING. Let that be a lesson to you all out there...if you love your blog, back it up. You never know when blogger may just shut you down.

How do you back it up? Now I'm concerned!
I just copied and pasted all of mine into documents in word...and saved them to my external hard drive. My next feat is to get them all made into books. This was my original goal but it always seems so daunting and time consuming. I'm doing it now though!
Glad it's back! Merry Christmas!
I just read through all of your posts that I missed while I was stressing about the trip, on the trip, and now stressing about Tom's trip. I MISS YOU! Your poem was perfect, I'm stressed about my blog now and have no idea how to back it up, your work outing looked awesome, and your cat is hilarious!!!!
so glad, i wanted to cry along with you!!!
So glad you got it back. Relief!
So you've convinced me to get going again on my blog books…yikes. I've started with them way too many times but never finished or just plain gave up. I'm working on them now through SharedBook (the link through the cutest blog on the block) I tried them a few years ago and I hated it because I couldn't remove posts, but now they have that option and it's a simple way to go. I've tried the website that Janet does, and that is way too time consuming for me. What is selling me right now on the SharedBook is that you can make a PDF of your ENTIRE blog for $7.95. Totally worth it for backing up your data. Just thought I'd pass that along!
