This morning I woke up with a feeling of dread knowing I finally had to face the daunting task of restoring 400 posts with each one containing one to eleven photos!
I kept talking myself into taking it by category or even by post so as not to get discouraged & procrastinate as a result…
I finally grabbed the sliver of courage I had by some miracle, held fast on to it and started tackling the last few posts of the poetry category & decided to go on working (for how long it takes) until it’s completed.
Then I decided that if 99% of the photos have vanished I might as well start from scratch & bring down the pixels to all of them & just maybe I will have saved myself the trouble to have to create a new oawritingspoemspaintings2!There is a silver lining after all 🙂
So, I cleaned up my media once again (!) to start afresh. All in all I was busy six hours on the blog & decided (when my head felt squeezed in a vise) to stop after giving you an update.
I’ll try my best to go on liking but if I don’t manage due to the long hours of work on this blog, my sincere apologies to all my supportive & faithful followers 🙂
I consider this as the Resurrection of my blog and its rebirth will be thanks to your patience. Once again a big thank you to you all!
ArtPoetry&Literature 
Poor you!
I’ll get through stronger & wiser! Promise 🙂
i know the feeling..something similar happen to me too, one day all the drafts and past post are just gone!
anyways, you are almost there.. keep up the hard work and all the best!
Oh my gosh! That must have been so hard, did you have a backup?
What happened?
You missed out the few posts before which explains the huge crisis I was in but with a lot of work, will & a whole load of patience I can restore it.
I’ll do it even if it takes months, I’m determined to rescue my blog, I’ve invested more than a year of my life on it & I’m not ready to give up 🙂
Thanks for your support!
Sorry–I did miss the posts. It is scary to have invested all of that work and have it disappear.
I know! I couldn’t believe how many bloggers had the same trouble… I just hope that my experience will prevent others from falling in the same trap.
Thank you to continue doing your blog. I likeit so much.
Thanks! I truly appreciate you encouraging comment 🙂
That’s terrible! But be wary of copyrighted photos, I’ve heard that quite a few bloggers got sued over those. All the best.
I just had a look through your blog and realized that almost all of the photos are yours but it’s always good to be on the safe side and look out for those copyrights, it’s ricky and risky navigating and using those, I think.
You are right, all of them are mine besides the royal free ones I rarely put in the beginning of my blog & these last notices.
Again, thanks for the info I welcome any that cross my path it’s the only way not to fall down a tricky slope.
I know, thanks! Someone close made me aware of this problem from the start of my blog so I took only copyright free but all of them besides those few are mine.
Thank-you for putting in that time and don’t feel an obligation to it.. you can always start fresh and incorporate photos again into new posts 🙂
I know I can but I feel it’s such a waste for the past work, I’m going to take it day by day & see where it leads me…It’s a slow process, I embarked on the poetry category and have restored quite a few but I have to say in a year there’s been quite an accumulation…
I appreciate your concern & kind comment 🙂
I’m sorry to hear that you are having this problem. 😦
I appreciate your support & sympathy 🙂
Thanks for this kind comment!
