Blog Repair

Just want everyone to know that I have not disappeared. I have had to do some major repairing and rebuilding on my blogs . . . which I managed to destroy all on my own. You can read about it here if you want to know details . . . sigh

Hope to catch up soon

Ah life is tough. I hope you'll get it back soon because we miss you here.

sorry to hear that helene Next time it may be easier to just get a new domain and "park" it. This way it'll work like a mirror to the existing domain and you don't lose your old rankings/incoming links & won't have to reconfigure wordpress.

For example, I have the domain nikonite.com (no s) but in this case I've made it redirect to nikonites.com with some rewrite rules. I could change it to go the other way around if I wanted to. There are several other similar domains that do the same thing.

Oh, wow, thanks for the tip, jdeg. I'll do that now.

Hurry back, Helene! We miss you!

Also a little late for now BUT. Backup your website regularly. I worked for a Webhosting company for many years and Backup is one thing I preached to all the customer all the time. You should have access to the web site control panel (Many have CPanel) and it will have a backup feature there. Your web host support site should be able to assist you with it. Do it once a week/month depending on how much you update or how much you are willing to have to rebuild.

Yeah definitely backup. I have backups of this site in many locations.

I use a plugin called 'backupwordpress' that is quite good.

BackUpWordPress | humanmade

It backs up everything to a folder on my webserver, and if it bombs out, it's not too difficult to restore everything.
