Seriously? Again?
Would you believe me if I told you I was an idiot? Don’t answer that. If you’ve been around for awhile you may remember less then a year ago I changed hosts. During that transition I lost the entire blog.
I started over from scratch. I bought a fancy new theme and off I went. Everything has been going pretty good if I do say so myself. Until about 6:31 pm on Friday that is.
Like the good little organizer I am, I decided I would “clean up” a little bit behind the scenes. I noticed a sub-domain with wordpress still set up that I wasn’t using. Let me clean that up real quick! Delete! Of course I didn’t notice the one I was actually clicking was this one, not the sub-domain.
In an instant, my heart stopped and then flew out of my chest. I raced over to the blog and oh lord it was gone. Gone. All of it. Back! Back! Back! I thought if I kept pressing back it would magically appear. Well, I was back alright but not quite what I was hoping for.
Bright side? I made myself a nifty little banner for my new blog. It’s cute, eh? Next stop? I’m making a blog! I’m sure I will be able to find some archives on Google so some of the old content will be here but for now… Welcome to the new My Good Cents! Again. Seriously.

Oh goodness what a headache for you. Hang in there!
OH YIKES! I held my breath as I read your story – I could just picture myself banging my head on the keyboard. You definitely win the glass is half full award for such a positive spin on a tough situation.
I came to site and thought I had entered the wrong one.Anyways its cute and dont worry you will be back with all the posts soon.
Hehe. I know it sucks, but really. When I click your link, I always know there’s a chance you hauled ass. Again.
Wow, talk about a clean up! It looks good though and you’re handling it very well. I always thought that anything with the ‘delete’ button should ask you a few times if that’s what you really want to do! Anyway, I love your sight and find it really useful!

Oh, I can imagine the horror… But I do like the new look!
chip’s last blog post..Music Video Friday
Oh no! That’s always my fear that I’ll lose everything. I guess I better go check on my backup right now. I guess you’ll be an expert in building blogs (having done it so many times)

Ummm….Welcome back? The whole story is Greek to me. I thought a sub domain was a delicatessen. (ha ha) I think it’s fun that you shake things up every once in a while. I’m glad you’re back up so fast as I enjoy having my daily dose of west coast smart-a**edness.
I forgot to say, it’s super duper cute!
Thanks everyone
I was wanting to change the look .. I just didn’t really want to do it myself.. I guess this forced me too.. The sidebars are already looking to busy for my tastes though.. I think I just need to look away for awhile.. 
Lanie : lol
Danielle : There was actually two delete buttons, I clicked the first.. it said are you sure and I clicked yes thinking yeah yeah I’m sure come on.. and that’s when I freaked haha…
Corrie : I’ve already backed this one up! First time I’ve every backed a site up.. it takes me awhile but I learn..
Brent : It’s always a pleasure for me to bring a smart-assedness (nice word) into any situation..
Ah.. thanks Lanie! Just like you! Super Duper Cute..
Well my blogging friend, I am really sorry you lost it all but then again, it may be totally refreshing. I have NOT backed up my blogs in a while. I think I am going to get “My Book” plugged up and do that. I don’t think it is so much that we “NEED” our work. We just want it because we did it. I’ll be shooting you an email. I want on your blog roll. I want your new button when you get one made.
I love the soothing blue too!
