I guess Blogspot is too good to be true. It's free. You can post any ol' drivel you want and Blogspot never flashes you a pop-up that asks, "Are you sure you want put this out there?" Instead, it accepts your work without comment and archives it so you can return to your favorite posts again and again. I should know. I'm my biggest fan. I reread posts I wrote five or six years ago and laugh and laugh. Damn, I'm good!
Recently, I wanted to share a post I wrote in 2007 about the folly of having daily Bible reading in the public schools and making everyone recite the Lord's Prayer, whether they believed in Jesus or not. I looked for this post, and it was gone. Along with two poems, "Arrowheads" and "WinterHaven." Plus a half dozen haiku and my mini-novella, Fatal Errors. I am not a prolific writer, but these verses and that silly story were my babies and now they are gone.
My bad, Blogspot, for trusting you.
Maybe there's a way to fix this, but I have no idea where to start. We're on our own here. The Help Desk is a users' forum, so most of us are stumbling around in the dark.
I really thought they kept everything. Maybe I need to check back and see if some of my posts disappeared. I sometimes have issues with BlogSpot if I use internet explorer. If that is the browser you are using maybe try a different one and see if it shows up?
ReplyDeleteOh, that is one of my fears. I think there is a way to back up our blog posts, but I don't know how to do so. I will ask my son and if I get an answer I will let you know.
ReplyDeleteOnce I had big trouble with the password and I was locked out of my blog for a long time. I finally wrote them and one day I was able to get back on.
St. Anthony, St. Anthony, please come around Forsythia's blog posts are lost and must be found.
Say it 3 times. :-)
