We're Back- But Not Perfect

Hello Bloggy friends! For those of you who don't know.... Blogger (the place my blog is hosted) has been down. It was down for more than 30 hours. Every once in awhile during that time someone could get on, but for the most part, they were completely in "read only" mode. That means no comments could be made, no edits could be made to blogs, nothing. The good news is that it appears Blogger is back up and running.

Here's the bad news: Like MANY others, I lost EVERYTHING done since Wednesday. Blog posts, pages I created, comments from friends, every single thing that happened on this blog has been lost. I am particularly frustrated because I worked for HOURS on a couple of pages I created. I can, fortunately, recreate those pages, but it's going to be a pain. Grrrrrrr......

For those of you who entered the "No He Can't" book giveaway.... I have your entries in my in-box. Thank goodness they came to my email. I will be manually pulling this giveaway winner so I can handwrite those extra entries. I hope you all will see this as fair and reasonable. I am not planning on extending the giveaway, though, because to be quite frank it hasn't had a lot of interest. I want to move on to some other more exciting giveaways.

If this outage has caused any frustration, I apologize. Trust me, us bloggers are VERY disappointed. So.... back to the drawing board!

Wow, I didn't know. I guess it's a good thing I was on vacation and not playing around on my blogs.

Ug, Diana, it was a MESS! I'm glad we're back up and going. And I can't WAIT to read your next blog post!
