All Posts are Now Back
April 27th, 2007 by Stephen
Following the server crash yesterday, I have now replaced all the postings that went missing over the last month. As far as possible, I have also replaced the missing comments. These are posted with original attribution but under my name. Apologies that this will put the frequent commentator list out - but it was the easiest way.
Still to do:
- Upgrade Wordpress (again!)
- Install “In Series” (again!)
- Recategorise the series
- Add some or all of the photos back from the last month’s posts
- Put back the rotating site banner and the associated pictures
If anyone else loses data in this way, remember - Google is your friend! (Particularly the Google cached text).
Please note that a few of the most recent comments were lost, as Google had not cached these.

thanks so much for this post. I’ve often wondered what would happen to my work if my computer crashed. do you purchase the Wordpress databackup via the internet, or must I go to my local office supply store? selahV
