Blogging woes....

I feel like screaming!!!!

I have had the worst time this weekend with my blog. A few lovely people left comments that my pictures weren't loading properly so upon investigation I discovered that they weren't just not loading properly they were GONE!!!!! About 100 or so photos just completely disappeared! Then I discovered that my dashboard was empty and all the blogs that I had been following seemed to just be completely gone or I had become an anonymous follower! AAARRGGGHHH...

Anyway after a many many hours of reloading photos and trying to remember blogs I was following I think I am back on track.  Hopefully I will have finished re-following everyone by the end of the day.

I so hope this doesn't happen again! Better go and make sure I have signed up to follow all of your wonderful blogs!

Best wishes for a wonderful week.



PS While I was being all technical I managed to make a new button for my blog. I would be honoured if you decided to take one!

  2. Oh Natasha, you poor thing! I hope you reconnect with all your blog friends.
    I tried to download and use picasa yesterday and it freaked me out thinking I was going to delete all my photos so I got hubby to get rid of it so there's my attempt at collages. Computers, love 'em, hate 'em!

  3. I'm so glad that your blog is up and running again. I was so distressed that I could not see all the beautiful cherub pictures that you were describing. If I ever have trouble with my blog, you will be the one I call, since you have managed to pull it back together. Hope it all goes smoothly this week.

  6. Natasha~~~

    I have had my dashboard disappear and it usually comes back if I shut down and restart my computer. I don't know if this will help you...

    Sorry about all of your woes.

    xoxo

  17. Sorry about your blog issues. I hope that never happens to me. This is still all new to me. Thanks so much for the comment about me coming to Australia to help you with your apt. Oh, I wish I could visit there someday. Of course I am not a decorator. Just love to play around with it. Have a great day...Kim

  20. Oh dear! I wonder what kind of preventive measures could be taken to keep that from happening. I'm glad you are getting yours fixed and hoping that I won't have to deal with that.

  21. Soooo pleased that it finally worked out for two reasons: ONE - we would miss you terribly and TWO: we would miss you terribly. What a bugger you poor thing. It takes long enough as it is to plan a blog post without having to redo everything and more. Sending you mental bottles of bubbly to help you through ;-) Love

  22. Sweet, sweet Natasha, my gosh this is not amusing. I understand things are solved now. GREAT! I like your image soooo much! Put a smile on my face! Lovely post again.

    Happy Thoughts!

  24. I call that the "internet imp." One time I lost all my followers and couldn't post. The next day, all was okay. But I freaked. I'm glad you got it all to work.

  25. Thanks for stopping by SuKnitWitty today...especially since you were in the process of reconstructing your blog. How does that happen? It's a BlogginMystery I guess. Every so often I copy posts, followers and other stuff and save them in my documents....just in case. You're the first I've heard that lost so much data on blogger.

  26. Ooooo Natasha that does sound bad! I lost my blog list a few weeks ago & it killed me! I can't imagine dealing with all you are!!! Hope things get back on track & quickly ...blogging takes up enough thie as it is! Take care!

  28. I didn't know you could lose things on your blog. I thought they were there forever. What a horror story!
    I'm not clear on the new button and how someone takes it, but maybe if I read more I'll understand. Thanks for sharing.

  30. Hmmm. I'm gobsmacked! I sure hope this blog problem is not "going around." How frustrating!

  32. Sorry for all your difficulties... I wouldn't know where to start if that had happened to me. Actually, I do, I would have just called my sister and she would have straightened me out... Bummer about your rain, hope there isn't too much flooding with all that rain in such a short amount of time. I count on you to keep us filled with lovely weather, sunshine and summer.
    Take care,
    Kate

  33. So sorry that you had such an awful blogging problem. -sigh-

    The worst part is, we don't have any idea why things like this happened. So we can't be sure to not do it again. -repeat sigh-

    Luck!!! :-)

  34. I know just how you feel!

    My woe was that I was getting little to no comments after visitng over 70 of my fellow blogging friends!..,

    Ever so kindly a fellow blogger alerted me to the likelihood that there was "a viris" attached to "the snow falling widget"!~I removed it and "voila"; problem solved!..,

    Thanks ever so much for visiting me and I do hope you can join me for tea next week!..,

    Cheers from Wanda Lee @ The Plumed Pen
