I have been trying to be patient with my blog/domain/hosting issues, but I am getting aggravated. Unfortunately, in the switch to combine hosting, I lost the entire mysql database backups for two of my four blogs. One of my blogs, I haven’t even attempted to move yet, because I am terrified of the same thing happening.
In the interim, I had to create new databases, and then upload VERY old copies of my blog backups. Of course that meant uploading information from another blog to this one, which was not intended, but I decided to just keep it there. I am also having to use google to restore popular posts that did not merge correctly. So irritated.
I also lost all my comments, which makes me super sad, as well as all my blog links. So if you have my blog linked on your blog, until this thing catches up and I can figure out who has me linked, leave me a comment (make me feel loved again LOL) with your blog link and I’ll add you to my links.
So, I’ll probably be lost in blog repair land for the next year. But in the meantime, I have a nice big package from Close to My Heart arriving probably in a week or so, and I cannot WAIT to play with my goodies. I’ll make pretty projects and try to get them posted ASAP.
Thanks for your patience guys!
Sorry for your issues. I do have a link (or 2) to your blog but don’t feel that a link back is required.
I have this little dofollow blog list that I attempt to maintain and you are on it.
Unless you don’t want to be on it in that case just drop me a comment and I’ll set it right with you.
Dwippy.
I had some major issues trying to move one of my blogs to a new server as well. What I finally figured out that worked was backing it up from the dashboard (from WordPress, not quite sure what you use for a platform though) instead of trying to back up the database. Big headache though either way, so I can completely relate!
Hey sorry to hear about all the problems you’ve had. Site’s still great though, especially for a craft addict like myself.
I’m sure the comments will soon come rolling in!
