Recovery
It’s going to take a long time, as I don’t know yet exactly what I’ve lost. I have tons of code and tracking thingamajigs to install, but from where? I have forgotten. Ugh. And my pictures…all of them, gone. I will work on them, if I can, a little at a time…I hope.
What happened? Me. I made a critical error and then another. The blog was gone. I did the backup thing, which is funny (funny ha ha, in the laughing hysterically in an uncontrollable, not so funny kind of way) because…when I finally resorted to starting over from scratch I tried to import my backup, but found that it exceeded the size allowed. Oh really? Nice. I backed up! There was no warning that I wouldn’t actually be able to USE my precious backup!! Grrr.
I Googled and Googled, spending (wasting!) hours and hours trying this and that. Finally, lucking into the right fix, I was able override that particular problem. The blog is imported, sans images. I can live with that.
So. What are my plans for the weekend? Sitting right here…fixing things.
Awesome.
Remind me not to touch the pretty buttons.
Don’t touch the pretty buttons!
I’m sending ‘fix-it’ vibes your way – try working on it with a margarita (might make it seem less horrible)
A margarita sounds really good right about now! Thanks for the vibes!
Thus far I have avoided anything having to do with code. I have a sneaking suspicion I might just know enough to be dangerous.
Good luck with getting it all done.
