First off, I would like to point out that this will not be like my normal posts. Every once in a while I need to write about something to do with websites, and most of you reading this have no idea what that means. For all of you, skip to the last paragraph.

Now for the important people:

Due to a recent MySQL crash and an outdated backup I lost my last three post and the site design. This is the third time that has happened so I should have learned my lesson by now, but I hadn’t. After pulling out my hair and beating many small helpless animals I decided to do something about it.

This may be obvious to some, but it took me a while to figure out. You will need Firefox, Web-developer, and a cached version of your site on google.

To find the cached version of your site, search it on google and click on “Cached” Hopefully this contains the data you lost, if it does not, resume beating fluffy animals because I can’t help you.

After the page is open select the “CSS” drop down menu in Web-developer. Go to “View CSS” Save this to your computer. Now all we have to do it get the images. To do this select the “Images” drop down menu and choose “View Image Information” Drag and drop all the needed images to you computer. Now copy all the lost text and rebuild your site.

Google’s cache lags a few days behind, so check everyday to see when it displays the info you need.

After your site is back up, back it up.

And for all my usual reader, maybe you should learn somethign useful and build your own website.
