This will be the third time I start a new blog. As some of you may already know, my webhosting service crapped out on me and were not able to successfully revert my data back so I basically lost everything.
I switched webhosting companies upon the recommendation of a friend and had to figure out how to set everything up again.
I lost about four years of blogging which peeved me a little but thank the Heavens that the Way Back Machine exists. I was able to save all of my blogs from their archives. You will notice that if you click on any of my old archives posted on the right hand side of my blog, the URL is a Way Back Machine URL. I just hope they don’t purge their servers any time soon or I will have to update all of those links. I have them saved but it would be a huge hassle to have to update them.
The formatting of the Blogger Archives should be okay but the WordPress Archives is a bit messed up. Some of the content is gone but all of my writing is there including the comments. At least the most important stuff is still there.
The biggest lesson learned here is to backup, backup, backup. Which I will be doing diligently every month so that I don’t have to do this ever again if something happens with my webhosting service.
I’m sure everything will be alright but you just never know.
