I've spent the last few minutes crying my eyes out

I arrived home from work totally knackered, so took a nap, then woke up to a text message from my daughter K, aka no-one, who wanted to know if I had removed my blog.

Well of course I hadn't, why would I?
I love blogging and putting up photos etc. I love receiving comments.
I love all the friends I've made out there.
All of you, my lovely readers.

So I got out the computer and tried clicking on my link in my "favourites" list.

Uh Oh
Blog not found.
This blog has been removed.
Wasn't me!!


How?
Why?
Who?

I did a google search - nothing.

I've left a question on the Blogger Help Forum and I'm waiting for replies.

I've accessed this page through the BlogList on  no-one's blog and I hope this post goes up.
I'd like some answers.
And I'd like my blog to be back where it was.
(With all previous content in place of course).

Has this happened to any of you?
Have you logged on one day to find the entire 16 months you've spent blogging just vanished without a trace?

    A Farmer's Wife; Its back! I wish I knew what had happened. It just wasn't there and I got so upset. I did have a message from google saying they'd noticed unusual activity on my account, but I have no idea what that would have been.
    I'm so glad to see everything the way it was!

    Yep, came over to check it after I read your email and it's in full technicolour glory this end, too.
    No idea what may have happened but I'd suggest backing up your blog on a regular basis just in case.

    So glad it's okay for you now. There's a whole lot of spammers out there.

    Jayne; it's back now, accessed through my favourites as always. Thanks for the link on how to back up. I'll get onto it first thing tomorrow.

    Sarah; but would spammers just remove a random blog for no reason? I'll be following Jayne's back up link asap.

    How weird - and truly horrible. Your blog was always accessible from here in Switzerland. Maybe it's a classic IT Crowd solution: "Have you tried turning it off and then on again?"

    Kath; turning off didn't occur to me, I was too busy worrying and crying. All smiles now though.

    Hi River,

    It's happened to me too. What you need to do is back it up.

    COme to think of it - I think I need to do it again.

    :0)

    Cheers

    How devastating. So glad that what was lost is now found. It was always here though.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
