A slightly tense weekend...

Well, it really wasn't much of a stir really. I was just 4 years worth of posts on the line, no big deal, it just had me a little worried for a while.

Saturday I tried to make a few revisions to the sidebar layout of this blog, now that I'm on Twitter. When I went to update the template, all heck broke loose, and in the process, my page up and vanished. Still not quite sure what was going on, but eventually (this morning) I was able to get things back on track.

I tried all sorts of things, from deleting my RSS feed to changing templates (which I had to go back and re-build once all this was over) and nothing seemed to make it any better. Tonight, after it re-publishing with the standard template, I was able to go back and apply all of my customizations, and finally got it to where I'm happy for now.

And no lost posts. :) Whew!

Happy Belated Valentines!

Sorry that I contributed to the tense-ness of this process. I know it would have been awful to lose 4 years of your life - the photographs. I was pretty confident it wasn't actually lost, anyway, which is why I wasn't too concerned and not sympathetic enough. I knew you must have been tweeking it to do something to have something go wrong like that! At least now we know to not do whatever it is you were doing to MY blog!

I will try to be more understanding and patient next time. Love you...

As it turns out, it wasn't anything I did, but a system thing. Not my fault, but I didn't help my own case of nerves by continuing to try to do stuff... Like beating your head on the door of a time-lock safe. It wasn't going to open till it was good and ready...
