Disaster Strikes! Ahhhhh!

This afternoon one of my worst fears relating to blogging, website maintenace, etc… was realized. I’m hosting two blogs with the same account and by some mistake/accident – I still have no clue how – the database of my main blog just disappeared. I was adding an additional database when it happened. I suppose it’s possible to accidentally click the worng thing, but it always asks for comfirmation before deleting anything and I don’t remember answering any such thing. I just know that when I hit finish after adding the second one the first one was not in the list. Poof -gone! there went all my previous posts along with the comments that had been left by gracious visitors. The fortunate part of this whole thing is that the blog was not old and so I didn’t lose a huge subscriber list or a lot of posts, in fact thanks to feedburner I found a copy of my previous posts and was able to re-post them. So all in all it turned out fine, but what a heart stopping feeling! Yikes! It was new enough I hadn’t backed it up yet, but no more. There’s too much work/time involved to do this over and over again.
